    I feed my reef tank fish every day. I feed my corals at night once a week.

    It seems the consensus is about every other day and it doesn't matter on the livestock if it's only six or less fish. does anyone consider how many inverts they have when feeding or do you just assume they will clean up the scraps, but what if there are none?

    I currently have 5 small fish in my 55 gallon. I feed twice a day. Both times it is a half of frozen mysis and some pellets. I think I will cut down on the feeding maybe to once a day or split it up in small amounts twice a day.

    every box of frozen food and algae all say to feed 3 times a day, which I thought was correct, but i guess that is over feeding a bit. they probably want you to use more so you buy more.
