    I got the Reef Nutrition and Rods for free today, my question is what do I need to feed.

    I have a BioCube 29 with 2 clowns, Six line wrasse, SPS, Zoas, BTA and pods.

    Here is my current feeding schedule:

    Rods - Every 2 Days
    Reef Chili - Every 3 Days
    Cyclop - Every 4 Days


    Should I change anything and how often should I feed the Reef Nutrition?


    Thanks,

    Chris

    Of what yo have listed, first I'd look at particle size...
    smallest: Oyster-Feast
    2nd smallest: Roti-Feast & Reef Chili
    2nd largest: Cyclop-Eeze
    largest: Rods

    You clowns won't eat anything really down the list till Cyclop-Eeze. There may be some clumps of Reef Chili they can eat. I wouldn't change the Rod's schedule.

    What I would do is:
    Rod's every 2 days
    Reef Chili every 8 days & Oyster-Feast/Roti-Feast every 8 days on an opposite schedule from the Reef Chili
    Cyclop-Eeze every 4 days

    On the Reef Nutrition, start at half the smallest dose listed for your tank volume since you'll be feeding both at the same time.

    Quite the stellar line up you have there in terms of feeds :D

    FWIW I work for Reef Nutrition, just want to be transparent to that fact :D

    Thanks :)

    Thanks for the reply, my clowns LOVE the Rods food. There are typically chunks of shrimp they all go after along with the cleaner shrimp.

    "What I would do is:
    Rod's every 2 days
    Reef Chili every 8 days & Oyster-Feast/Roti-Feast every 8 days on an opposite schedule from the Reef Chili
    Cyclop-Eeze every 4 days"

    So what your saying is feed Oyster/Roti every other 8 days along with the Reef Chili?


    Thanks for the help :)
