Feeding schedule

newsalt · 10-29-2004, 05:11 PM

I'm thinking about adding fish to my tank again. What do you think of this feeding schedule?

Mon: Homemade mush
Wed: cyclopeze and flake
Thurs: Nori on a clip
Fri: Homemade Mush
Sun: Nori on a clip

Sounds fine to me except for the Flake food I never use it because I don't think it's as nutritious as frozen and if I'm not mistaken are very high in phosphates. I would just be careful on the quantity of food, just enough that they will eat in a minute or two otherwise you'll have water quality issues.

Looking at your livestock list and filtration, I don't think you need to feed that much. I would go with an every other day feeding of the mush. I don't see anything that would truely benefit from feeding nori.
I'm a big fan of limiting the nutrients that go in the tank, makes maintence much easier.
