How does this sound for a 29 reef tank?

New life spectrum 1mm marine pellets- 4 times a week

Frozen mysis- 3 times a week

Live Brine shrimp- added to dt once a month

Thanks

Here what a lot of members here feed and how and why lol.

 

Very nice! Thanks. In your opinion, do you think my plan is good?

 

Are you going to gut loading your brine? Brine shrimp really don't have much in the way of nutrition on their own. What do you have for livestock?

 

The live brine is to exercise there natural hunting behavior... But if there's a way to make them more nutricious then a link would be great! do you need a separate tank?

Here's the stock...
1 occelaris clown
1 royal gramma
1 pink spot goby
1 purple fire fish
1 bangaii cardinal

 

You can load extra nutrients buy feeding the shrimp before you feed them to the fish. If you do a search on here you should find a few threads on it.

 

Yeah I just googled it and I think I might look into starting a brine tank down the road.

 

I would cut the frozen food down to no more then 2 time a week. You can run into algae problems feeding more then that due to phosphates and if you can, strain it first.

Yeah I plan to run tank water through it.

 

With my experiences Id have to disagree buddy. Flakes always made it worse for me. Same thing with a few of my friends tanks. I think its the binder they use to hold the flakes together. It has always caused hair algae for me. I feed almost exclusively frozen food and the problem has gotten better. Im not sure about pellets. I havent really used much of them when feeding a reef. A friend of mine had luck with shrimp pellets though. Im sure the brand makes a big difference but Ive not been happy with the flakes Ive used.
