I feed once per day sometimes even skip a day. Just a pinch between my fingers. 2 wrasse, 1 coral beauty, 1 butterfly, 1 anglefish, 2 blems, 1 damselfish, 2 shrimp, 1 scooter. Just feed flake mostly, once in a while frozen. They don't need much. All are healthy and colorful and tank water is clear, clear, clear. _________ 125gal Reef/Fish,40gal sump,Reefmania calcium reactor,MH,UVH,Moon,Aquazone plus 100,Auto Topoff,CoraLife 125 skimmer,GHL Profilux computer & special effects lighting.

I feed 2x per day small portions of fresh artemia (approx. 1ml of culture). Next day I prepare 3-4 small granules of spirulina (by Hikari) soaked in the water from tank + garlic extract. So far I've got only one clownfish and it's crazy about this food ... Water parameters are also ok  | |
