How often do you feed?

[sampsonndelila]

I was wondering if I should add more nori to my feeding schedule.

I see a lot of people feed Cyclopeez. I Google'd it and found references to feeding it but no vendors. I have not seen it in the stores. What is it and where do I buy some?

You can purchase the frozen package from B&B, or Dr Fosters and Smith when they have it instock. Not sure if any of the other LFS sell it in frozen package.
You can also purchase it freeze dried in a canister, it's a powder form.
Info from Dr Foster and Smith:

mike just in case you didn't know ace has a 240, i believe, with lots of big fish so unless you have a similar tank i wouldn't follow his receipt exactly.

OK, as long as he doesn't a BIG tank!

I feed a very small amount once a day and some times I skip a day. I have a small 24 gallon with lots of zoas, a purple firefish, a blue damsel and a green goby. It also has 1 peppermint shrimp and a bunch of snails.

My food is a mix of all kinds of frozen foods that I thaw out mix together and re-freeze into small flat baggies.

I turn the pumps off too, when I feed.

Well, a lot of the way I feed is actually from Ace. I guess you could say im in his store about every week it seems and ive learned alot from him. I currently have a 125 gallon reef tank. I feed mainly frozen shrimp, spirulina brine and cyclopeez. Ive tried pellets but my guys in the tank like to chase their food. I also dose with Vitamine C and garlic to help build their immune systems. I try to feed about 3 times a day with each feeding equilvilant to about 2 frozen cubes. Also clip nori every other day for the tangs and rabbitfish.
