New Tank Up and Running!

[freddyfish]

hey all, I got my 55 gal tank up and running with a L/M Blenny, pajama Cardinal, 2 Ocill. Clowns and a Gold Headed Gobi. Every thing seems to be fine. The one thing I am questioning is the amount of food I am feeding them, I feed them twice a day in the morning and at night, I alternate between frozen brine shrimp and mysis. Just enough to last 2-3 mins before it is all eaten, and I add one pump of Marine Plankton with cyclopeeze, made by "Liquid Life". Am I feeding them enogh? I also am concerned about a spot on one of my clowns, but I think it is just sand that the gobi sifts out, because the three of them hang out together and the gobi sifts sand on and around the clowns. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I dont think it is ICk, cause it is not near or on the fins and no other fish have it. Thanks!

When you say up and running does that mean you went through the cycle before you added any fish? I feed my fish everyother day. I feed scallops, mysis shrimp and pellet food. Once a month I put a pinch of cyclopeeze for my corals. I would watch the white spot closely to make sure its not ICK. If more appear I would pull of fish out and do hypo in a QT.

With that many fish I hope its been up and running for a while...
IMO you're feeding way to much. First brine is not nutritious so it's like feeding junk food. Second, I'd feed no more than once a day and only feed the Marine Plankton with cyclopeeze every three days or so if at all.
