Wow, that is a lot of feeding. If you feed him that much and manage to keep the nitrates low, your fish will have beautiful color in time. Just be patient.

oceanist... how many times are you feeding anemosis? i feed quagmire, formula one. It's suppose to be pretty good and he eats that stuff like crazy. So does peabrain.
I went to the pet club today, and they didnt have anything. Hopefully on Tuesday O st and exotic get some new fish, i think it's time I get another one. I kinda rearanged my corals to get better flow, the hammer was having a hard time and so was the bubble coral.

jambi0n - lion crazz........ i feed hime 3 times a day , is that to much ... the only reason i feed him that much was because i thought i read that somewhere , maybe not , should i cut down on the food alittle?
Offtopic , dude im so stoked , i just saw my brother in law for the first time in 7 months today he just got home from iraq :joy: , he has to go back in 6 months but still i value every second with him , he is like my real brother. Always wanted a brother never got one though
:notsure:

yeah, 3 times a day is a little too much i usually feed my fish twice a day. breakfast and dinner. sometimes just once. cuz they can die if you overfeed them.
cool that your bro-in-law is back... spend a lot of time with him, cuz you never know if they have to go back and stuff like that. thats what happened to my uncle...

Too much feeding would cause your nitrate to go up then you'll have a hard time trying to bring it back down by doing lots of water change like what I'm doing now. The only reason I feed more before was because I was trying to get my Naso Tang to eat. He wouldn't eat for a week, surprisingly that he is doing well now. He eats like a pig now so everything is good, but just trying to bring down nitrate. Getting my Aqua C Remora Wednesday from UPS. That would help too!!! Good Luck...

I think fish die from "over feeding" because of the water quality isues, not from actually over eating. I know my fish quit eating when they are full (which is how I get a chance to feed the clean up critters)
