I tend to underfed as well. 90 gallon tank (75 gallon sump)I use an auto feeder to feed NLS once a day then mysis and seaweed maybe once every 2-3 days along with some marine snow and freeze dried cyclopeeze (about 3-4 days). Maybe time to ramp up the feeding! (slowly of course). I'm battling GHA right now... It is slowly going away so aim a bit sheepish to change the regiment.

I used to feed 6-8 times a day since I work at home.

Now once a day usually. Some pellets and a squirt of mysis. 1/2 sheet of nori.

Done.

the amount you feed is totally based on alot of different factors so no real one answer ,i would look at your nutrient export and livestock needs.

if i fed what i feed now to say my 33g zoa tank i had 2 yrs ago i would be riddled with algae and high nitrates.
