I thought they were getting fed ...
Extra fish food floats around, fish poop, etc ...
I don't want to start spot feeding everything - that will take the fun out of the hobby for me
I feed Phyto-feast a couple times a week ( until the bottle runs out, then that's out the window as it's too costly )
I feed meaty stuff once a day, at night, and keep feeding for up to 5 mins until my fishies are done
Mostly I go through 2 cubes of mysis and brine mixed with garlic and vities per evening
I have tried to spot feed all of our corals but most of them don't or can't hang onto the food long enough to take it in, so I just don't do it anymore
And, I will not try anymore as each time I tried in the past, even with the powerheads off for 10 mins, the corals never drew the food in far enough to keep it when the powerheads came back on, so the food blew away
So, in our tank, the fish get the food first, and the corals can eat what they can catch and keep
