How much to feed your fish?

[MadReefer]

I leave all my pumps on when feeding. Mainly because I have K3's and am afraid of them not starting up, one has to be kicked start all the time. I feed frozen and add it in very slowly over a period of 15 minutes. In the beginning the fish get all the food and what's left is blown around for the corals, etc.

I feed algae in an algae clip, but the rest of the food is set free to blow around the tank. I have a lot of LPS so feel that very little food goes to waste maybe doesn't feed fish but feeds something. Figure the ocean flows don't stop at feeding time so they can catch a dead mysis. ;D
Sorta fun watching the fish fly around the tank too.

+1, exactly how I think

Exactly. It's bitter sweet though because you either have to rinse/replace the bags or you have to syphon out the garbage.

Damn good idea patriot, never thought of that! Just wish I had a tank big enough to use that trick lol
