30% algae the rest sea meat? |
Yep, also forgot to mention. Lets say you love to feed your fish, and you feed them like 6 times per day.... then I would make the food contain about 85% lettuce or algae. If you are trying to breed fish, then I would make the algae around 5% of the food. So it does vary, but 30-50% makes sense to me.

Corals prefer smaller foods (in general) but it means you have more of those little pieces blowing around all over the tank. To me, that is more of a filtration concern than the larger pieces.
Once again I've given you a bunch of useless information. Isn't it great?

I agree with Adam, except for the part about it being useless information, and yet I found that lots of fine particle food swirling around the tank a couple times daily caused unusually rapid growth of every invert you can think of. Coral, clam, worm, crab, grammeras, copepod, sponge, etc. Rather than a filtration problem, it became a growth problem, if you want to call it that

Arrow Crabs and Wrasses to the rescue.
Just curious, did the bristleworms stay out all day or come out just at feeding time?

Since I didn't get to attend the meeting, was the same video used as last year for feeding corals?
