Arrow Crabs and Wrasses to the rescue.

Just curious, did the bristleworms stay out all day or come out just at feeding time?]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2003 20:44:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=12549&title=thanks-for-a-good-meeting#12549 <![CDATA[Thanks for a good meeting! : Mark Peterson wrote: Adam...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=12523&title=thanks-for-a-good-meeting#12523 Author: Jared

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


I had a growth problem onece, far too many bristle worms. ]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2003 12:05:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=12523&title=thanks-for-a-good-meeting#12523 <![CDATA[Thanks for a good meeting! : Adam Blundell wrote: I like...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=12232&title=thanks-for-a-good-meeting#12232 Author: Mark Peterson

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.

Here is another topic for you (I know I shouldn't do this, but oh well).  How large of pieces should your food have?  In other words how well is it blended?

I know someone (Jared) will ask for opinion so I'll cut to the chase and answer it now.  I like having large pieces in my fish food because I like keeping my fish food seperate from my coral food.  Some people like to blend it all really fine and have one "super food" for the tank.  The reason I don't like this (and my opinion may change) is that I like my fish to consume big pieces of food and have little waste.  That is because I like to feed them often. 
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?

Did we bug you enough, Adam?

I also agree that portions are totally determined by the type of fish you have. Are they carnivores, herbivores or omnivores?
For some additional help with this issue, see the June 2001 Sea Star Online article.

Note that even carnivores also eat a little algae and vice versa. Also, whatever food you use is to some extent, feeding both fish and inverts, including coral. Do you know what your coral eat and what size?

I'm lazy I guess, because I like the combo food that has something for everyone!

Okay okay okay,

I'll have Jake post the presentation.  Also, maybe we will post the indivual slides of the recipes seperate so you can just print them if you wish.  I do tweak my recipes from time to time.   Also, I recommend slightly different portions depending on what type of fish and corals you have.  So if someone has something odd (like a 75 gal with 15 tangs) then feel free to ask for more input.
