I like to feed my fish and corals a mixed diet of dried and frozen foods. I feed frozen mysis(mysid), freeze dried cyclopeeze, small pellets (Oceans Nutrition Formula 1 & 2), flake (Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef), nori (dried seaweed), DT oyster eggs and cut up raw shrimp. I don’t have a set schedule on what gets fed, just whenever I feel like it. In general, only pellets and flakes get fed daily. When I feed the other foods, I feel like it makes my water dirty, so I time these feedings with my water change schedule. I’ll feed the ‘messy’ foods and then I’ll do my weekly water change, about an hour later.
I also use an automatic fish feeder because I keep anthias, which like to be fed a bunch of times a day. This feeds a mix of pellets and crushed up flakes twice a day. The best feeder I’ve ever used is the eheim 3581. It’s on sale on Drs. Foster right now for $33. Best price you can get for these. Here’s a link: Eheim fish feeder.
My acan lords (LPS) get spot fed w/ cyclopeeze and mysis a couple of times a week and my anemones get fed raw shrimp, once every few weeks. I also use some Zeovit suppliments for the corals, such as amino acids. Other than that, I’ll feed the tank whatever I have lying around. If I have fish roe (eggs) for my sushi, I’ll feed the tank this as well.
