Feeding by weight/ratio

[skidmarkstevie]

Now that my nutrients are very near where I want them, Ive aquired an ohaus scale with intent to make adjustments in weight/ratio between nitrate/phosphate dominant food sources. I am using mostly reef nutrition line of foods. Is anyone else weighing their food for small tanks? Would love to try some different recipes/ratios.

My tank system is about 40gal.

.2g phyto feast

I don't base my fishes diet on test results.

I don't base my fishes diet on test results.

I wouldnt say I "base" their diet off test results either, but I think consistency can be good for their environment.

My fish are fat, breeding, healthy etc.
In my ~35 gal system, overfeeding is easy and cause drop in ph, nutrient bottoming, and im just looking to be more consistent, like the sea.

In my head the idea of being able to manipulate ratios & amounts to avoid bottoming nutrients, raising/stabilizing ph [through photosynthesis], and complete consistent nutrition of all tank inhabitants without input of bottled nutrients/aminos is a good thing for everyone involved, and in no way will my fish be underfed or malnourished.
