Just great lol, another thing to worry about haha.
Just remember, the three most important things in reef keeping are: (1) water quality, (2) water quality, and (3) water quality.

I know!! That’s why I get so worried about giving them the wrong food, sometimes I give them flakes and other kind at the same time... I know I know what a dumb idea, but I get annoyed that the ocellaris doesn’t seem to eat lolJust remember, the three most important things in reef keeping are: (1) water quality, (2) water quality, and (3) water quality.

Thank you!!! Funny, I saw this one at the store and thought about getting it, but got the mysis shrimp and another one like that, but purple packet,I forgot what is has.Now, let me ask you, how many cubes do you give your fish and how many fishies do you have? Lol. I have 5 including pistol shrimp and I give them one in the AM and another one at night. Is that a lot? I feel like I might be over feeding lol, the saddleback looks chubby, but the other ones look okay. Also, I feel like the hawkfish should be eating more babes tho?I use the variety pack helps them get a balanced diet
Thank you!!!There is absolutely nothing dumb about being passionate about the animals that are in your care. Options and variety are beneficial to the health and well-being of fish for several reasons. As I suggest in my signature, we can't force our fish to do anything (including eating something other than flakes), but we can open the space for them to thrive and often they will. We're cheering for you - you got this!
2 cubes a day sounds about right. As long as there isn’t any floating around 10 mins after feeding your feeding the right amount. I’d check out hakari or pe mysis over SF bay fwiw. I’ve tried them all. Just my $0.02Thank you!!!

keep it simple, flakes (plus pellets) and frozen food. 5 times a week for dry food and 2 times with frozen food.
Yep your right. I’m not sure if it’s nitrate and phosphate that keeps it bound together, but dried foods always spike my phosphate. That leads to algae and poor looking water quality.Thank you!!! I just want to make sure they eat well, like all the nutrients they need and everything.I know I sound crazy lol. Flakes seems like is not a good food and gets the water dirty IMO. I might be wrong tho haha
I think I have about ten fish and i only do a cube a day with algae strips for tangs. Nd I would say 2 cubes is a lot but it's all opion some people swear by feeding multiple times a day and some only feed every other day so it all in what works for u. But I will say there is many more people battling aglea from over feeding then there is dealing with starving fish haha.Thank you!!!

Yea fish always look hungry lol. U just want to be careful cause over time (a year or so) waist will build up In the rock then it's really hard to keep under control.have u put any corals in this tank yet?Hahaha, well my tank never has algae because of my turbo snails, they are sooo good at their job lol. And I have to feed them twice a day, it kills me to think they are hungry lol [emoji23] specially the Hawkfish.

For sure get coral! Don’t be scared! We can help you with any questions you have. Corals are great to have in sw tanks besides looking awesome, they remove extra food in the tank and water as well which helps keep nutrients lower. It’s a whole ecosystem. You need coral or you will have algae. Something will eat the extra nutrients, you want that to be coral.Not yet, I am hesitant to add corals, I am scared to ruin things [emoji23]
