Overfeeding?

[fish1031]

i think i might possibly be overfeeding
i have:
4" YT
8" Blue Tang
9" Naso Tang
6" Pinktail Trigger
5" Lunare Wrasse
I give them about mayble 20 pellets of ocean nutrition 1 and 2 mixed
2 ocean nutrition frozen cubes (variety pack) soaked in vitamins
and about a 5x3" inch peice of algae sheet
I do all that everyday... is that too much?

oh and they eat it all

Try redusing to one cube of that stuff. This should make overfeeding an problem of the past.If you think you fish love extra food they do but in the long run they hate it. Just like an person eating cheese boy is it good but after an while youll haft to unplug the cork if you now what i mean! lol

I feed my fish once a day. You can feed twice a day, but make the morning meal small and the evening meal larger and the more nutritious meal. In your case, feed a few pellets in the morning, then the frozen soaked in vitamines in the evening. You should be rotating the different frozen and different vitamines each day. They don't get it all at once.

I do give a different kind of cube each day and rotate the vitamins.

I'm still a newbie at this stuff, but with my experience, I feed everyother day and my fish/water are fantastic. I guess if they are truly very hungry, my fish will manage to scavenge off live rock.
