Hi I am wondering if I am feeding correctly. I recently acquired some lps that need to be fed and a 6-line wrasse that seems to nip at my blue sympodiums if he is hungry. I have softies and lps and a 12g tank with a 10g sump. I spot feed 3x a week with a little frozen krill, a little mysis and fish eggs, half a cap of marine snow, and a pinch of coral frenzy. Is this too much? Should I alternate between using some of this food?
Also in my sump I have some emerald crabs and turbo snails, is feeding them some seaweed and a few pieces of krill each once a week enough?

Thank you!

That sounds like a lot of food for a small tank. If your No3’s are running high, then cut back to 2X. If not, that’s fine
