How much Cheeto

[re_vogel]

Assuming I wanted to use a skimmer and Cheeto as my primary export device is there a rule of thumb on how much I need for a 75 gal with 6 fish feed lightly every other day?

Any thoughts?

Start with a little bit. It'll grow like crazy. When it starts to die off, that's how big it should be. I would say a raquetball size would be plenty to start out with. We just put about that size if a biddy's tank a few months ago, and now it's bigger than a football.

I don't think that there is a rule of thumb, Use enough so that it will out compete any other algae in your tank. It's a guessing game at first, get a handful from a local reefer (and it should be free) (I toss out a huge chunk every 2 weeks or so) Toss it in the fuge/sump and as it grows, rip off the growth (offer it to fellow reefers) every week or so.
