A few pics before the move

How much and how often do you feed the fish? And how many fish?

jeez, I'm kind of ruining your thread here aren't I?

I feed the fish a 1cmx1cm chunk of frozen mysis every day. I thaw it out and drain off the liquid before I feed it. I used to feed a 5cmx10cm chunk of nori every day but have since stopped doing that and only feed it about 2x a week now. If everyone ate nori I'd stop with the frozen.

Currently I have a 4" regal tang, 4" scopas tang, 5" tailspot wrasse, 3" bangaii cardinal, 2-1" neon gobies and a 1-1" lined blenny. Mostly the frozen food is for the cardinalfish, he's a picky little bugger.

nah, just a bunch of silly pictures. I feed a few pellets almost everyday, a good feeding of mysis just before water change day. A small square of nori twice a week for the tang and clowns, and that's it.
I have a yellow tang, a sixline, 2 clowns and a chromis (oh, and a mantis). They're all fat and happy, and my nutrients stay low. NO3 has never been detectable, no algae to speak of, and better colors than I ever had before.

I'm feeling left out so I'm going to jump in and hijack as well.

Nah, seriously, here's my question:

How big of a square, and.. I'm curious, how fast is it devoured?

Tony, probably 2in x 4in, takes a couple of hours to go. The sixline is the only one that doesn't eat it.

Brad, first let me say, "WOW". Very nice. Interesting on the feeding

notes. I would guess, as many running similar tanks do, feed more and

run larger skimmers would work also. Many seem to be having a problem

with not enough nutrients to keep the corals happy in a similar system?

And then with others, its the nitrate build up, when they try feed more

to follow that line of thinking. Who knows. Do you think the yellow

finds other food to graze on? My smaller fish would be fine with a similar

feeding as yours but I know my copperband would not and I have been

wishing to add a smaller tang to my 75g.
