Well in comparison I feed (granted I have DIFFERENT types of fish than you) 1 cube's worth of food every 3 days or so. My tank is a heavily stocked 90g system. Granted different types of fish eat different amounts but you are most likely way over feeding. Fish will ALWAYS act hungry and eat as often as you will feed them. In their minds they aren't sure when the next meal is coming so they eat every change they get

It's ALL gotta go!!* Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%. Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!* Big Al's 10g Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube Gone but not forgotten BigAl's Slow 90g Tank Chronicle Allens OFFICE 12g Nano-Reef
