Feeding question

michika · #1 10-18-2007, 12:49 AM

I feed once to twice per day, a pinch of flake, cyclop-eze, and pellet. Sometimes I feed frozen foods, 1 cube mysis etc, and 2 cubes of frozen rotifers, but then skip feeding the next day.

When I had a big system, 300g, I fed nori once a day, flake once a day, and frozen once a day.

You mean all of them 7 times a week ?
OR nori today, flake tomorrow and frozen the day after ?

Oh I forgot to say what and how I fed

. I just dump in everyday so it can float around the tank, mysis and flake in the am, frozen angel food and cyclopeeze in the pm and I also place a full sheet of Nori in the clip everyday

Once for each every day. 2 sheets of nori, a bigger pinch of flake, and 2-3 cubes of frozen foods. I had a HUGE bioload though, 4 tangs, a foxface, an angel, and then about 15 smaller fish.

thanks...

and how do you feed your corals ?

I used to feed phyto...it didn't nothing for them...I now just give them lots of light and lots of flow. I do however feed frozen rotifers once and awhile.

I am also trying out Aqua Connect's Energy Elements in the near future, you can PM me for more details.

I feed once a day. I alternate between pellets, flakes, and mysis. I do feed a pinch of cyclopeze and reef roids every day for the filter feeders. I spot feed my anemones every couple of days as well. (was feeding silversides but have went mainly to PE mysis)

I've tried feeding sheets of nori but my tangs never really touch it The thing that is messed up is I have a cat that loves the stuff, anytime I open the nori package he runs up and wants his strip too

I should get a picture.

When the lights come on they get a pinch of flake. About an hour later they get mysis. Then 2 or 3 times during the day they get more flake. If we have company....more flake. If they look sad...more flake. The rabbit gets a handful of macro algae once or twice a week. Nori...about a 1/4 sheet every other day. Then I do a water change...some weeks 2....lol

thanks catherine...

i have phytoplankton, reef roid and coral frenzy...but not sure how much and often I should feed the corals. I think I have enough flow and sufficient light

When I used Reefroids earlier this summer I went along with the package instructions, but once I started adding more corals, I increased the dosage. I really didn't see much change in my corals from the Reefroids, but my fish sure did love it.
