[milomlo]

Hi, I have 1 Green Chormis (sp), I have marine cusine for him. The directions say twice a day. I just wanted your opinons. How often is good? I also have marine flakes. I was thinking of rotating this. Opinions??

How old is your tank?? I would not feed over once a day. In a mature tank every other day should work.

By mature he means a tank with lots of little algae on the rocks and tiny critters for the fish to pick at.

Oh ok, well don't

at me. But it is cycling. YES YES I KNOW I KNOW. I listened the the LFS guy. I set it up Saturday w/ LR and they said the LR would start the cycle, but nothing happened. So I got a fish. I put him in on Monday. This is a 2.5 gal tank, but I am getting a 30 gal today, I am setting this up for a QT tank
Here is what my water was yesterday.
PH 8.0
Ammonia 1.0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
Alkalinity 120
temp 75
sg between 1.021 & 1.022
I was thinking of testing again today. Any suggestions?
