Over feeding

[this guy]

I am worried I am overffeding. I feed two brine shrimp tablets a day one for fish and one for corals

sometimes i feed 4

way too much right

Should I stop

 

[fraservet]

depends how big the tablets are and how big the fish are.

also, you should really feed a variety of foods.

How long is a piece of string???

what size tank do you have? most of the corals you have will not eat brine shrimp. You would be better getting a phytoplankton based food for them.

50 gal

fairly big tablets.

OOPS! I have not fed my toasdstool anything then

So i should buy it some food

I think theres no harm in adding a little phytoplankton, live is better but preserved will do fine. I would cut the feeding down. when you say tablets do you mean dried or frozen? I would go for frozen food such as gamma or san fransisco bay brand both are very good along with some dried nori for the tang.

take 1 tablet and cut it in half. feed half per day. you are lightly stocked and too much food is going in.

There is no need to directly feed leather mushrooms, just your suncoral and any zoos you might have.
Livephyto is an excallent food for corals though so get someif you can. it also promotes pod life.

Hi

well i had to use one frozen tablet ot feed by sun oral today

and I put alittle bit off seaweed for my fish

BUT IT ITS STILL TOO MUCH

HOW CAN I CUT DOWN WITHOUT STARVING THE CORAL; IT DID NOT GET FED WELL TODAY

Wouild purchasing some snails and hermitsa aid the removal of this excess food

 

[Navarre]

It may be a good idea to get some snails and hermits in there, maybe a serpent star too.
