how often should i feed?

[Ruffie]

i have the following fishes in my 3 ft tank

yellow tang

blue tang

2 clown fishes

1 algae blenny

1 radiant wrasse

3 cleaner shrimps

1 fire shrimp

i feed them twice daily, once before i go out and once at night. each time i feed about 40 or so pellets (new life spectrum mixed with formula 2), so one fish probably gets about 10 - 15 pellets daily. is that too much? i realize they shit alot and pollute the water quite abit.

sometime i throw in a mysis cube or cyclop mixed with spirulina powder. sometimes i feed TLF sea veggies purple seaweed too.

also i have quite abit of corals in the tank and i somtimes dose phyto. but recently i feel that it is quite a waste of money because when i dose, alot of it doesnt' sink fast enough to the corals and alot of it flows into the overflow, which then gets filtered with filter wool and skimmed before returning to the tank.

what is the correct way to feed the corals phyo? and how often should i do it?

thx!

bro, think not hard and fuss rules. It depends on your liking. If you keep demanding corals which need good water condition, then must control feeding and number of fishes to control your bio load. However, this can be overcome if you have good equipment but effectiveness will depend on your setup, maturity and constant water test to ensure. For your coral feeding, maybe good for your to advice what type of corals....me not expert....only keeping less demanding corals....hence cannot give much advice. All the best.
