Feeding Habits

[Gizmo]

I'm trying to gauge how often people feed their livestock.

Thanks

Pretty much every day. (with skipping a day here and there)

Same as Ryan - pretty much every day even if it is just a sheet of nori. I am battling nitrates in one tank though so I think I better cut back or make it a FOWLR. Too many brown corals.

Every day....and sometimes twice they seem pretty happy though !

Before the tang... I only had a mandarin(that didnt eat prepared foods), a clownfish, and a pajama cardinal. The clownfish and pajama cardinal learned quickly that the refugium's output provides a constant supply of live critters, from pods, to zooplankton, to mysid shrimp(not mysis). I was only feeding every second day at the most, due to the constant live food supply(the pajama cardinal grew like a beast from when I got him after learning this). I now have a 5" orange shoulder tang in the tank as well, and thus feed once or twice a day now. He has quite the apetite. Eats about anything I throw in the tank even if I feed 3 times a day, for 10 minutes at a time.

My(their diet) has also become very varied, with mixes of frozen foods, as well as shrimp, octopus, squid, clams, mussels(all frozen), multiple different planktons, nori, different vegetable flakes, many different pelleted foods, formula two pellets, and finally still the live food supply from the fuge.

And the mandarin still wont eat prepared foods even with all that, lol.
