Help with feeding

[Yvi]

How often do you feed your fish? I have 3 tangs (Sailfin, hippo and a Yellow tang), 2 clowns, a Percula in a 90 gallon tank. I've heard a couple times a day, once a day, 3 times per week?

What's important with tangs is that they get algae every day. In addition, something meaty. I have two tangs and they get half a sheet (oriental market nori) every day. Mine get fed once a day (nori and something meaty).

FYI, that Sailfin gets real big....a 90 is way too small.

Thank you. The Sailfin is big, bigger then anything else in there. How big do they usually get?

A foot and a half across. A fellow reefer had one in a 450 gallon tank (full grown) and that tank looked too small.

I feed hearty 2 times a day and nori but I do have a good export system.

You just have to trade it in when it gets to big. For future of the tank I would go with a kole or Tommi

Do you have a problem with nitrate levels and/or algae feeding them every day?

No I have a good skimmer and chaeto in the fuge I could probably feed more than that if I wanted to I have no bad algae..

Okay, thanks

The chaeto eats nutrients that bad algae needs to grow. So therefore no bad algae.

I feed twice a day. Frozen in the morning and pellets in the evening.

I mix frozen and dry morning and night.
