Hi everyone! I figured out the likely reason why my prior marine tanks failed...overfeeding. My 10 gallon marine tank, for example, was getting 1/4th tsp flake food most days, and when I alternated that with frozen food it got a quarter of a cube...I didn't realize that at the time, but that is FAR too much food for any ten gallon, much less a reef tank, doubtless causing my endless algae problems that eventually caused me to leave the marine hobby. My question is, how much should one feed a typical reef tank? For comparison, I am now feeding my three freshwater tanks (with a betta smaragdina in two of them, and a small persian killifish colony in another) only .15 ml TOTAL mini omega one pellets or mini bug bites each day, and most of that .15 ml goes to the killies. Thanks
