Hello,
I am going out of town next week and wanted to get any tips on using my auto feeder. Last night I opened up the feeder one notch which increased the amount of pellets coming out by at least 5x. I was on the setting that allowed about 10 pellets to be delivered 4 times a day and I was also feeding 3 cubes of frozen. Today it is now set to deliver food 3 times throughout the day and i bet it drops 50 pellets. I feel like this is roughly the same amount of food but ill be testing nutrients every day this week to see.
I am currently using the neptune pellets and wanted to hear anyone elses opinion on if they increased phosphates and or nitrates significantly? right now my nitrates are very low around 2 and phosphates are.1. i dont really care about phosphates but i wouldnt want a spike while out of town. nitrates i am dosing on a doser and i worry about them hitting zero with all the coral i have in there. so i feel like it would be safer to over feed for a week than to under feed. correct me if im wrong though.
thanks,
Nick
