How to feed tank 5 times a day...

[ervine]

Hi guys,

I was looking at AT's TOTM and I noticed that he mentioned he feeds his tank 5 times a day. How is that possible? For me I'm hardly at home so at most it's twice a day at 3 or 4 hr intervals...

So how do you guys do it? Especially when there's so many types of feed, phyto/cyclopeeze/rotifers etc etc...

Thanks,

Ervine

Get a auto feeder. But this only works for dry food like pellets.

Alternatively, get a maid.

AT, at home all the time...working home based....

I feed my fish once a day... I got no Anthias..

Sometimes I purposely feed them once every 2 days.. so that they can get used to no feeding when I am out diving during the weekend...

Train your fishes to eat pellets as snacks. Have 2 full meals and set a auto-feeder to dose pellets 3times a day. Altogether, your fishes will get a full breakfast, coupled by brunch, lunch, teabreak and a full dinner!

Yup, I work at home now.

I take frequent breaks in front of my tank.. and you guessed it... the rushing excited fishes know its "meal time!!"

I think you must invest in a good skimmer to feed 5 times a day etc. This will avoid contaminating your water conditions. Otherwise you get algae bloom etc which will be traumatic or worse still loss of LS due to water parameters.

Probably how much you feed each meal will play a part as well.

I used to feed 2-3 times a day but have cut back to 1-2 times to fight algae bloom.

I see i see... but things like cyclopeeze no way to feed via auto timer right?

Also... phyto and stuff cannot either right?
