Hi guys. I been in the reef for awhile, but I been wonder how much and how long should I feed my 12 gallon nano tank?

Right now I've been feeding 4 of 2x2inches small sheets of dried Formula One,1 cube of Mysis, Also I feel 1ml of plantkon, every other day.

In my tank I have one large frogspawn, 1 small kenya tree, 20 polyps of Button Polyps, 50 polyps of Green Star Polyps, 10 polyps of Sun Coral, 1 Bull Eyes Mushroom, 5 polyps of MEAN GREEN Zoanthids, 3 small clam, 2 hermits, and one False Purcular.

I'm planning to feel every other for day now, but I'm affraid my Sun coral might not be feed enough. Now I wonder how much I should feed them, and how often.

Thats a pretty good bioload for a small tank. You can work on target feeding your sun coral and then when you feed your clown fish your other corals feed on what it doesn't eat.

Moggyhill, Should I still feed every other day?
The problem is my sun Coral only open when it sense food... Which I have to feed the tank first before the Sun coral.

every other or every third day should be enough to start with. It depends how much your fish and corals are eating.

I see. Thanks for the info... what about the Sun Coral? How should feed him first when they only open with sense of food?

feed your clown, a little food will filter down to the sun coral, then target feed the sun coral. It also helps to feed at the same time so they get used to it.
