So I have a 180 gallon fish tank, all SPS around 50 frags all around 1-2 inches and multi branched.
I have 1 yellow tang, blue powder tang, purple tang, blue eye kole tang, 2 anthias, 1 blue chromi, 2 clownfish, green wrasse and a purple firefish.
I am wondering how much I should feed to these guys. My phosphates and nitrates have always tested 0 for the past 2 months. During the week sometimes I do not have a chance to feed them till 8pm which then there is only 2 hours left of light in the tank and I only feed them usually 1 frozen cube.
I think I am going to up this to try to feed them 2-3 frozen cubes a day or even maybe 3-4 frozen cubes. I am just wondering how you guys know how often to feed them. I do not want an auto feeder because I couldn't get them to eat pellets or flakes. The frozen cubes I feed are Mysis and brine shrimp. I also try to feed them at least a 4x4 nori strip once a day and sometimes twice a day.
Just wondering how much you guys feed your fish and should I feed them 2 cubes at once or feed one cube, wait till they eat it and then feed the other? I feel like that would be the best way to do it. They could probably eat one cube in around 30-60 seconds. I would also say it only takes that long because I leave my pumps on so the food is going everywhere and they have to chase it. They will eat out of my hand if I keep the cube between two of my fingers, they'll come up and eat out of it.
