How often do you feed your fish?

[mkylovr]

I am wondering how often the majority of you feed your fish. Thanks.

Once.

At least once in the evening and sometimes my wife will feed the fish during the day if "they look hungry".

Plus a half sheet of Nori each day.

We feed them in the am and then after work. i wasnt sure if this was too much. they see the cup coming and they all swim down to the end of the tank where i hold the cup.

At most, every other day. Probably 2-3 times/week is more accurate. That goes for nori as well.

I feed once a day...and probably guilty of over-feeding as well But I do target feed a lot of things-(I have nothing better to do )-but also a good time to take inventory of the tank.

two clowns every other
carpet anemone once a week
corals maybe twice a month

twice a day. They are pigs! Each feeding time time they act like they haven't eaten in a week and mug/attack the baster.

But I don't think we over feed - it's not like we have fat fish

Once a day M-F twice a day on the weekends.

I feed a quarter of a nori sheet a day. Flake and mysis once a week to once every couple of weeks. Its been working for almost 18 months and the fish are fat and healthy. Granted I only have a maroon clown, YT, and Potter's angel in a 75, so I get away with them picking at the rocks and glass for pods and such.

I feed once a day, but that's usually over the course of a couple of hours.

Every other to prevent algae.

I average about every other day, just mysis and nori if I'm not having any particular algae issues (if I am having an algae problem that my tang (might?) eat, I'll withhold nori to encourage eating the problem algae.

Mysis feeding spread out over about 30 min, a lot of it target fed to my RBTA's, fish get the leftovers. When I do feed, it's usually a pretty big chunk of mysis, at least 2-3 pop drops worth (PE brand only!).

Fish get fed 4x a week mysis, brine, nori, formula 1/2,
anemones target fed 2x a week,
sun polyps 2x a week
rest of the coral is on its own, but should probably do more.

I just had an aiptasia breakout after 4 months free....so there's got to be enough food in that water....
