Normally I feed every other day...and I alternate the food to provide a diverse diet. On the weekend I'll feed a little more...but as a rule I try to stay on a every other day schedule.

I've been living in my new place for almost two months......I just have a foxface in the reef at the moment.......haven't fed him a single time. Fed the tank some zoo and phyto a few times though. The foxface has a job to do, and plenty to eat though....here's a pic with night colors.

This cyclopeeze was offered to me once and I would like to know how you like it, the product that was offered was a dried powder. What do you use and what have you seen as any response to your corals?

They get their treat in the morning and their balanced diet in the evening.

Thomas, I use the freezer bar version of cyclopeeze primarily to feed my carnation, bubble, and sun polyps. THey all love it and really extend their polyps when fed using a turkey baster. I melt enough of the clyclopeeze into a custard cup full of tank water and then direct teh feeding using a turkey baster after the lights have gone out on the tank.

I feed my fish every night, first some flake & then frozen brine shrimp plus soaked in real garlic after it thaws. I feed my softies DT's a couple times a week & plate coral silversides 2-3 times also. Everybody is happy & growing so I must be doing something right!

I feel like my fish would starve if I didn't feed three times a day!! And they eat everyting up that I feed them. They get frozen and flake, always vary their diet. The LTA I feed almost every day.....and it just keeps growing!!!!! Maybe I am overfeeding, but my water tests are always alright............

Once a day for the fish and inverts, although I occasionally skip a day a week if I think they've been overfed. Corals get some phytoplankton 3 times a week (capful), and I feed my Open Brain twice a week at night or early in the morning when his feeder tentacles are out. I have found that I need to feed my two cleaner shrimp something first to keep them busy, otherwise they'll be all over the brain coral grabbing the food.

I have a porky puffer and it will flip its tail at you and spash water out of the tank if it does not get feed when it wants to.
