Hello, I'm 4 months into my first tank, its going ok overall I think, just wanted to gut check the amount I'm feeding.

I've been feeding about 1/4 of a frozen Mysis or Brine shrimp cube per day, does that sound about right for the following bioload?

Bioload:
Fish: 2x clown, 1x fire, 1x royal gamma, 1x watchman goby,
Inverts: 1x cleaner shrimp, 1x pistol shrimp, 5 or so hermit crab and 10 or so various snails.
Corals: 12x various small soft starter corrals

Other Tank Details:
Tank is 22Gal with a 10Gal sump
Reefmat roller filter
Sicce Shark 300 Nano Skimmer

Thanks for your help!

a quarter cube for 5 fish once a day it too little IMO. I think a quarter cube is the right amount for 5 fish, but I would feed it more often that just once, IMO. I feed 3-4 times per day. good luck

Thanks. I feed 1/8 morning and 1/8 evening, so if I understood you correctly I'm in the ball park, right? I can't do any more frequently due to work.
 
I think 1/4 per day is too little for 5 fish. I feed 1 whole mysis cubes 3 times per day to 3 fish .

Wow, that's 1200% more. How big are those fish? Do they eat it all?

I've been feeding them 1/4 cube a day for the past 4 to 6 weeks, and they seem fine.
