For quite some time now, I have been feeding only once a week. I always monitored the fish to make sure that they were not starving, and you can read more about my setup here: ChunkyMunky Pengopus's 63 gallon reef
However, I have come upon the realisation that feeding once a week is probably not a good idea, and I would actually like to change this practice and increase feeding. For example, many of my corals do not grow nearly as much as I hear others say they do, and I actively want my green star to spread more, but for the most part they stay the same size. I have 3 bubble tip anemonies, and they have actually shrunk by a dramatic amount and stay very small, despite my attempts to spot feed them. My hammer corals have also begun shrinking.
I am thinking that this may be the root of the cause, but will inquire in the other threads about the specific coral and anemonies later as well in their respective forums.
Only now am I coming across the realization that I should probably increase my feeding, but I am worried about causing disruptions to the tank's chemistry. How can I increase feeding without damaging my tank, and could this be the cause of some of my issues?
