I feed once every other day.
Different every day (altho I tend to give frozen cyclopeze with every feeding) but I use frozen mysis, Formula One and Two cubes, squid, and if I have seafood for dinner, I reserve a bit for the fishies and corals  _________  I Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feed small amounts 2-3 times daily, mainly because my Copperband will only eat frozen Mysis, Plankton and brine shrimp. It will also eat freeze dried brine shrimp. I also have to feed the flag fin angel sponge based frozen foods and algae. I feed my reef tank once daily though. _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

Once every couple of days at best here. I feed a mix of prawns and scallops. I just started with a premade food for my anthias, its called golden pearls sinking pellets, I have to admit they have greatly improved the fishes color.
As per corals I have never feed them..well on purpose anyway, lol

In a healthy reef, there are lots of natural food sources for the fish to graze on. Supplimenting that with feedings just ensures nutrition. Often, my fish (even the voracious tangs!) goes for a few days without "canned" food, and they are all fat as can be! _________ -Mickey 175g Bowfront - 75g Refugium - 100g Sump - 3 Phoenix 14k 250W MH - AquaC EV240 Skimmer - 240lbs Haitian Live Rock - 4" DSB - Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse - Azure Damsel - Banggia Cardinal - Firefish Goby - Blackcap Basslet - Purple Tang - Powder Brown Tang - Regal Tang - Green Manderin - 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - 2 Peppermint Shrimp - 2 Emerald Crabs - Rose BTA - Orange Linkia - Tuxedo Urchin - Spiney Urchin (hitchhiker) | |
