well tonight his dinner was
Frozen emerald entree, plankton, mysis, Brine, and coral food(phyto, cylops)
also added some dried seaweed, formula two pellets, and Zoe. he has access to live red seaweed(in pics above) available to him 24-7.
he is eating huge chunks of seaweed, and the huge pieces of plankton. my clowns dont even attempt the plankton :look: they go for the smaller things.

all of my dinners i prepare i split between me and my dads fish, but still my fish probably got 3cubes worth of food.
also i have noticed my dads tang poops seaweed lookin green stuff. and my tangs poop looks like a grey thread?
kindove nasty but what do your tang poos look like?

but still my fish probably got 3cubes worth of food.

you feed your tank "3 cubes" of food? how many fish are you feeding? and how often? every day?

 

[new reefer 03]

yea 3ish cubes. i feed them about half and use 5 sooo???
i feed them every day as of now. i used to feed half everyother day, but i want my tang to fix itself so i brought up feeding, and i use so many cubes for variety.
also i make all 5 cubes, but i froze 1 cube of my combination tonight, so i usually have leftovers.

i realize its overfeeding, but its for my tang, and im also trying to increase my pod pop.

I don't understand anything you just posted lol...

i THINK what is being said here is that between two tanks, his and his dads, there is a total of 5 cubes that they just thaw at once. These cubes are different kinds and they just mix it up and split it in half, to which each tank gets one half. He overfeeds because he wants the copod population to increase, which i dont know if you overfeeding is a factor in that, but he wants his tang to get fat and happy. Thats the best I could do with that.

 

[new reefer 03]

we have a winner, good job Jeremy

 

[Jeremy0322]

Thanks, i try hard...haha

 

[ZAPCOnj]

yea 3ish cubes. i feed them about half and use 5 sooo??? so this means you feed 2.5 cubes?

i feed them every day as of now.

i used to feed half everyother day, so you feed 1.25 cubes every other day?

but i want my tang to fix itself so i brought up feeding, and i use so many cubes for variety.

also i make all 5 cubes, but i froze 1 cube of my combination tonight so you made 5 cubes but froze 1 and fed 4? isis that 2 for your tank and 2 for your dads?

, so i usually have leftovers.

haha it was hurting my brain that late at night to figure it out... you can see what i was thinking in my comments above in red...

either way... how is the tang fattening up? doing better? got any new pics?

 

[new reefer 03]

ill take some tang pics later today, or tomorrow.


so this means you feed 2.5 cubes?
it depends, some nights he'll have everything, some ill just give some mysis and another cube. on average i would say that my tank get 2.5 cube, yeah. thats only untill i see some pods, and fat on my tang though

so you feed 1.25 cubes every other day?
before my tang i probably fed them 1 -1.5 cubes per day.


so you made 5 cubes but froze 1 and fed 4? isis that 2 for your tank and 2 for your dads?
roughly, yes.




i have a new question, my lawnmower blenny is turning more silverish. is this bad? he way grey, then silver, and now hes a greyish silver...? does that mean anything, or is it the new change of lights?

 

[yungreefer2410]

in me and my brothers opinion grey silver and greyish silver are all basically the same thing soo we think its just you

 

[new reefer 03]

yea i think so too, lol. he seems to be grey again. i guess i was tired when i saw him last or something...

 

[new reefer 03]

how is the tang fattening up? doing better? got any new pics?
