feeding throughout the day

[salt-lik]

Multiple feedings per day for your reef fish is a great idea but how does one do so when they're stuck at work all day? I have an automatic feeder but I'm not crazy about using flake food. I usually feed my fish and tank when I get home from work (6-7pm) and again around 8-9 pm. The fish are all o.k. but I know they're really hungry....most of the time. Any thoughts?

can you feed in the morning before goin off to work? thats what i would do.

i empathize with your problem though. im in the same boat. that's why i dont keep things that need constant feeding, like pipefish (note that my system isnt mature enough to handle it either).

You can feed your corals in the morning and the fish as soon as you get home. Then I personally like to feed them before going to bed.

Feeding in the morning is possible although my actinics don't come on until 12 noon. So, I didn't see the point in feeding in the morning since the fish are all hiding/snoozing anyway. I just figured it would be better to feed during day when the food won't waste.

Has anyone ever found an automatic noori feeder? That would be cool.

Is it a FOWLR tank?

For the nori you can use a clip that you hang on the side glass. Don't worry it will hold it.
