Overfeeding is a real issue that a lot of us face with our tanks. Making sure we are feeding the right amount to our livestock is tricky. However, do we really know if we are overfeeding? Can some of our tank issues be chalked up to overfeeding? That is why I pose my question today: "Are we overfeeding our tanks?"

Based on how fat my tangs have gotten in the past 6 months and my Barbie colored nitrate tests, mesa thinks yes..
