Question about feeding schedual

[FiremanRick]

I am chasing nitrates and phosphates in my 200g deep. A have an extra large sump, two refugiums and a ATS. Nearly 260g of water volume. I have already cut feeding by 50% (used to feed twice a day, now just once). Now I'm questioning how often I should feed. I have a large clown trigger, large Niger trigger, small Picasso trigger, large bird wrass, large squirrel fish, 2 marine cats and a clarki clown. Everyone is fat and happy. Every feeding is a frenzy, but most every one eats. I feed a home made cocktail that's mostly schrimp and silversides. Can slow feeding down additionlly?

I don't think you should. Feeding once a day is already very little. Are you doing any carbon dosing or media to remove or keep you levels under control?

 

[FiremanRick]

I am running GFO, and ATS and two refugiums.

 

[FiremanRick]

I have been considering carbon dosing, but haven't really become comfortable with it. The tank is about 9 months old. Is that too late to start carbon?

 

[TUSI]

No it's never to late to carbon dose, I never believed in it but had no choice but to do it for same reasons. You start slow and see how it goes.

Maybe I'll put some more thought into it
