    Obviously all of the advice given so far is right on. I just had one comment. I gather from your post that you are feeding just frozen brine? You should really be feeding a larger variety of foods to sustain your fish over the long run.

    And less often. 2 cubes a day for those fish is a lot

    Agreed. 1 cube a day should suffice. I have quite a few different kinds of frozen cubed food and do a different one each day. This feeds my 12 total fish, one being a larger Foxface with a big appetite.

    thanks everyone, i do change the ro/di filters every 6 months since i do not make that much water. i will have to get a tds meter. i do feed 4 different kinds of frozen and i will cut back to 1/2 cube at lunch and a 1/2 at night.thanks again.
