How much food?
I currently have extensive red bubble algae covering my sand in a 92 gal. w/sump and refug. Testing does not seem to indicate that phos or nitrates are too high (.03 and <5).
I am wondering though, how much is the appropriate amount to feed? I simply take 2 frozen cubes of frozen brine shrimp and put them in a coffee cup by the tank in the morning to let them thaw. In 30 min or so, I scoop in some tank water, swirl it around and put half into the tank. When I get home from work, I dump in the rest. I have: purple tang ocellaris clown 2 bartletts anthias bluehead? fairy wrasse golden head goby banggai cardinal cleaner shrimp peppermint srimp ~12 scarlet hermit ~10 nassarius snails many corals The directions on the cover say to feed as much as they can eat in 3 minutes. Mine finish it in about 45 sec. |
