Question : If I have a 40 gallon aquarium and add one gram of fish flakes (dry fish food) per day, would that be considered a heavy or light feeding?
From left to right, a pinch (70 mg), 0.5 g and 1 g.
How many grams of dry food per gallon do you add per day? If you feed wet food, how many grams per gallon?
Background. I am ghost feeding experimental aquaria to grow nuisance algae. I have been using the above rate which results in a nutrient depleted system, i.e., no detectable nitrate, ammonia or phosphate. I started to push the amount up to as high as 16 timed that rate, but still no detectable nutrients. i want to keep my study relevant to the hobby aquarium, hence the above question.
