Feeding suggestion.

Hi guys. I been in the reef for awhile, but I been wonder how much and how long should I feed my 12 gallon nano tank?

Right now I've been feeding 4 of 2x2inches small sheets of dried Formula One,1 cube of Mysis, Also I feel 1ml of plantkon, every other day.

In my tank I have one large frogspawn, 1 small kenya tree, 20 polyps of Button Polyps, 50 polyps of Green Star Polyps, 10 polyps of Sun Coral, 1 Bull Eyes Mushroom, 5 polyps of MEAN GREEN Zoanthids, 3 small clam, 2 hermits, and one False Purcular.

I'm planning to feel every other for day now, but I'm affraid my Sun coral might not be feed enough. Now I wonder how much I should feed them, and how often.

Thats a pretty good bioload for a small tank. You can work on target feeding your sun coral and then when you feed your clown fish your other corals feed on what it doesn't eat.

Moggyhill, Should I still feed every other day?
The problem is my sun Coral only open when it sense food... Which I have to feed the tank first before the Sun coral.

[moggyhill]

every other or every third day should be enough to start with. It depends how much your fish and corals are eating.

I see. Thanks for the info... what about the Sun Coral? How should feed him first when they only open with sense of food?

[moggyhill]

feed your clown, a little food will filter down to the sun coral, then target feed the sun coral. It also helps to feed at the same time so they get used to it.
