Feeding time

[rebekwl]

I feed Once a day, too much? just want to get an Idea of what everyone else does?

[Cliff Puckstable]

I feed 1-2 cubes of frozen a day, along with my auto feeder that feeds pellets twice a day. I feed a lot.

this is really going to depend on your inhabitants, your system, your maintenance schedule, your components, etc. generally speaking, it's best to best less more often. for what's it's worth, i feed small amounts 6-8 times a day as i have several fish that require multiple feedings and i am trying to get my clowns in breeding mode.

[corsi1330]

I try to feed 3-4 times a day. The fish I keep require multiple feedings. I keep barebottom tanks that I clean detritus easily.

[rebekwl]

I have a pair of clowns, a couple of anthias, kole tang, neon dotty, coral beauty, midas and bicolor , diamond goby and a yellow coris..

[swimmatte]

I feed pellets once late afternoon/early evening and a piece of frozen late evening.

[miggs76]

I feed once or twice a day....mostly pellets because I can see them being consumed. My nitrates and phosphates are virtually undetectable.

[Orion]

I feed 2-3 times a day. Just depends if I am home or not.

For what it's worth, if I go on vacation then I'll just have the person taking care of the pets feed the tank frozen once a day.

I feed pellets, Jan's food, cycopleeze, and mysis occasionally. My clowns seem to dislike the mysis, but the diamond goby and jawfish like it.

I have a school of Bartlett Anthias a bunch of other fish. I try to feed at least 4 or 5 times a day.

Anthias really do require that much feeding?

[sachabballi reef]

They have very fast metabolisms....ideally fed a few times a day

[smallreef]

I have. Midas blenny, 2percs, 1 tomatoes clown, a pearly jawfish, a chalk bass, an angelfish, and a Bangaii cardinal and i feed pellets almost every day...sometime I miss a feeding one or 2 days a week so they get used to missing a meal, and it won't kill em...

With anthias I had to feed 2 or 3 times a day and I really over fed because of that...don't miss those guys,lol

Also, my Bangaii won't eat pellets as he mainly eats pods but he'll take some of Jan's food...so I feed that 2 or 3 times a week instead of pellets

Luckily I only have to feed twice a day, as the rest of the time my anthias angrily fights with his reflection in the glass.

[Coral Hind]

I feed twice a day during the week and sometimes three times a day on the weekends. The first feeding is when I get home, two thawed and chopped table shrimp and four frozen cubes or the equivalent of Jan's food. The second feeding a few hours later is four more cubes. The cubes are a mix of different types and brands.
