I'm trying to get a frame of reference for the quantity of food I put into my tank. 54 gal bowfront, HOB skimmer, live rock/sand, no sump, frequent water changes.
I have a couple shrimp, a cleanup crew, maybe six smaller fish, and a mix of LPS/SPS.
I think when I started I was waaaaay overfeeding. Now my practice is to throw in a frozen cube of something every other day, and on about half the "off" days I'll throw in a pinch of granular, high-quality fish food.
Just as an off-the-cuff reaction, does this sound like I still might be overfeeding? I don't have any algae issues to speak of (some stuff on the glass that needs cleaning every five or so days...some fine, very short and grey-ish something/algae scattered around. Nitrates are still not zero but are getting lower with consistent water changes.
Thanks!
Dave
