I feed my 11 small fishes a 1/3 cube of mysis, a 1/3 cube of brine shrimp and a pinch of dry food 2 times a day. Is it a sign of overfeeding, or is my tank having a heavy bioload system from fish and corals ? Or maybe from something else that I don't know.

both combined with a good skimmer.....perfectly normal.you can run the drain into a larger bucket for less cleaning and maintanance
