    Well, i will have 2 occelaris clownfish in my 36 gallon tank and i bought this food.
    -New Life Spectrum produce
    -Brine shrimp(already have from freshtanks)
    -Krill
    -bottom feeder tablets full of algae(from freshtanks)

    Is that good enough? (i'm pretty sure it is)
    any suggestions?

    Oh, and i will be getting a Royal Gramma in a long time and would it be ok to add a mandarin in the far future?
    thanks

    I'd skip the brine shrimp, they really have no nutritional value for the fish. Also, I'm not sure about the bottom feeder pellets, what does it say is in them? Should look at some PE mysis, seems like a staple in everyone"s freezer for SW tanks.

    Well, its really good for algae eating fish, but i already have a lot of algae in my tank, so, i guess its not necessary.

    I disagree on the brine, if they are enriched they aren't that much different than mysis.

    If he feeds then high nutrient food before feeding. I know my kyorin brine are almost identical to my mysis. There is a 3 reefer that wrote about the falsehoods of brine being not nutritious recently.

    I was thinking that if they were left over from his fresh, then they were frozen.

    If you don't have anything that eats algae and eats from the bottom of the tank, I'd skip the sinking algae pellets.

    You're off to a good start. Those two will be good for now.
