how often do you guys feed your tanks? and how much?
once a day? twice a day? etc....

on a strict schedual feeding or random time each day?

just curious to see different people routines.

dual 75g setup, mixed reef, 9 fish between both tanks, corallife snw skimmer 65, and i feed radnom frozen foods (whatever i happen to have in the freeze) mixed together once daily. About 2 cubes worth in the morning, and then some pellets, again a wide mix of various sinking pellets and cyclopeeze, once in the evenings (sometimes twice or three times depending on how cute the clownfish begging gets.) i consider my tanks to be heavily overfed for what i have in them. Bristle worms, nassarius snails, and other critters get well fed from this.

I usually feed twice or thrice a day random times. But I don't mix frozen with dry food. Randomly times with no schedule. Usually flakes or pallets in the morning, frozen in the late afternoon and seaweed sheet in the evening so that they can nibble all night...

Twice a day. I have an automatic feeder for pellets in the early afternoon, and in the evening I mix veggies and frozen/live foods.

TheOtherReefer,
Can you tell us which feeder do you use and if you are satisfied? I am looking for a feeder to put in my canopy.
