If you dont have alot of food being wasted as in alot of food hitting the sand bed and uneaten its gind i always geed my fish no more than what they would eat in 2 minutes

That's a pretty heavy bioload. I would feed 2x daily - one frozen, one flakes/pellets.

All those fish didn't just appear overnight, that is months of stocking. Why are you asking about feeding changes? Is there a specific problem you need help with? What is wrong with what you've been doing up til now?

I only have 9 fish, 75 gallon tank
2 tangs, vlamingi and yellow
3 chromis
1 orchid dottyback
1 midas blenny
1 mandarin
1 goby, forget what kind
cuc, hermits, snails
harlequin shrimp
pistol shrimp
I feed them a small sheet of seaweed in the morning and I alternate between Rod's food (frozen) and pellets.
the food is usually gone in less than a minute. I break of about an inch maybe a little more square of the frozen and about three good pinches of the pellets.
As long as it's being eaten up within a minute or two you should be fine.

The tank is 300 gallons and been up since August 30. Added all the fish in the last 9 weeks. Just curious what others were doing bc I don't want to over feed or under feed

Different groups of your fish have different dietary needs. Tangs do best with some nori on a clip so they can graze, I'd set a couple around the tank since you have multiple Tangs so you avoid competition and aggression. The angels will do best with live foods like brine shrimp, but will often take the frozen, but angels also need their veggies. Sometimes they will also eat nori, but they really seem to go for romaine lettuce for some reason. The veggies should be constantly present and changed frequently. The wrasses may also eat brine or mysis, but may prefer blood worms, you'll need to see what works. That mixture of foods should cover everyone in the tank. As far as quantity and frequency of each, multiple small feedings are better than one big feeding. The amount of food should be just enough to be gone in 45 seconds to a minute.

Thanks for the info. I will put in another clip of nori from now on so everyone has a chance at it as well as try a few blood worms. From what ive read though lettuce has no nutritional value for the fish, i could be wrong. Im open to anything. Will also set a timer and see how long it takes them
