So my budget nano reef is doing great with the exception of some filthy substrate. No matter how many times I sift / clean it just builds back up. Thoughts on how to correct?

What are all of your water parameters? Being a new tank itd going to happen and it will go away. Just have to let it run its course

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it
Votes: 3 15.8%
It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices
Votes: 4 21.1%
I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
