    4 x daily with a combo of pellets and frozens and dried mysis. Oh yeah and a algae clip every other day for the tangs. I just try and vary it up. I feed small amounts each time though.

    My home tank is a 30 g cube with two Percula and an Mandarin with a thick sand/rubble about 5 inches deep. I feed it twice a day with flakes and cyclopeeze. Enough that the two clowns are really full with leftover for the thousands of animals and worms in the sand bed.

    Glad I'm not the only one that felt this way. I feed 1 cube of a mixture of frozen foods every other day. The tank's microalgae and pod populations take care of the rest.

    Oops I also have a dwarf lion who strangely enough I never feed. I have no idea what he eats. But he have been alive for 8 months and no problem he looks happy. The other fish pretty much leave him alone.

    I feed once a day in my 72 BF. I have 5 fish and only feed a half of a cube and a pinch of flake food.

    We feed daily a frozen mixture of PE Mysis, Brine and Cyclopeez, with added vitamins and nutrients. Add several sheets of Nori for the "Wrecking Crew," of Tangs. This is in the 280G.
    My tank, a 54G corner, I also feed ORA Glo pellets for the Naked Clowns....and add a partial sheet of Nori for the Starry Blenny and Chevron Tang, along with the frozen mixture.

    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?
