reef bugs

sambrinar · 07-03-2008, 12:46 AM

would reef bugs be better to feed my feather duster than marine snow. can you over feed with reef bugs like you can with marine snow. i know that blowing off my rock will feed it, but I am a compulsive overfeeder and I feel better if I acutally feed it something.

If I can't overfeed it reef bugs it may be the answer for me.

thanks

Brenda honestly you CAN over-feed with just about anything. I rely on food for the rest of the tank to feed all of my filter feeders. When you scrape the glass everyone gets a huge floating "Buffet".

I figued that, I think I need an overfeeders anoymous. OK I will let it be and see what happens. Have you ever seen a feather duster not straighten out, mine is all curled up. it doesn't seem to mind, but it can't implant like that.

been that way for about 1 month or so

No I've never seen that personally.

Brenda... listen carefully... very carefully..

take THREE deep breaths...

breathe in slow.... exhale slowly...

and then...

BACK AWAY FROM THE FOOD!

Just kidding... well mostly

OK, ok, breathe in, breathe out, no more food, no more food (maybe I will play subliminal messages).

I really need to get my bigger tank with more fish. ALTHOUGH, that might make my addiction worse.

thanks Al, I promise , no more over feeding!!! I already made up my mind NOT to feed them tomorrow, no matter how badly they stare. I sware they are worse than dogs, AND I can't tell them to go lay down.

thanks for the support!!!!!!

It can really just feed itself, dont worry about it... as already stated, you dont want to overfeed, let it filterfeed.
