The discussion on another thread got round to feeding regimes in the tank. I know we all have very different tanks but just wondering if we can all post details of tank size, pump operation at feeding time, stocking level, CUC, type of food, time and number of feeds with a rough quantity. Thought it may be useful and stop people over feeding in the early days and creating algae/nitrate level problems?
So here goes.
Tank size - 360l 37x24x24 + 80l sump.
Pump - Vortech MP40 put into feeding mode for feeding i.e no flow.
Stocking - 2 Clowns, Chalk Goby, Algae Blenny (still being added), fire coral, xenia, zoas, gorgonia.
CUC - 6-8 red leg hermits, 2 blue legs, fromia star, 5 turbos, cleaner shrimp.
Food - New Era marine flake and frozen mysis (with and without garlic).
Time - 1800 and 2130.
Quantity - One inch sqaure piece of flake, aprox 1/6-1/8th of mysis.
and
Tank size - MT50 - 80l.
Pump - Newave 1 left on but return pump turned off for 30 mins.
Stocking - 2 firefish, button polyps, xenia.
CUC - 5 blue legs, 1 turbo.
Food - New Era marine flake and frozen mysis (with and without garlic).
Time - 1800 and 2130.
Quantity - half inch sqaure piece of flake, a shaving off of the frozen cube.
