I currently have 2 clownfish 1 flame hawkfish and two bahama loaches and 2 anenomes and some snails and 2 clams wow thats a lot once i see it on paper. Is one brine shrimp cube a day good enough? Or do i need two a day one in the morning one at night?
1 cube a day is not enough. But twice a day may be to much. I would rather see you feed 2 cubes every other day. Give your tank and protein skimmer a day off to digest the waste . You definitely need to feed something other than brine cubes. Brine shrimp has no nutritional value at all, it is like an all junk food diet for the fish. Also, you should be feeding a few different things. Try some clam, squid, formula 1 formula 2 some of the different reef blend foods etc. I keep at least 4 -5 different frozen foods on hand at all times.
i feed my saltwater tanks twice a day. once in the morning and once in the evening. you dont have to feed them a load at once, but i think its better to feed them smaller portions often rather than one huge feeding. you dont have to feed the anemone that often though. i believe we feed ours once every two days or so.
One should be fine depending on how old/big the fish are. As long as there is no left over food going to the bottom it should be fine.
is this actually in the tank?
Clams im assuming isnt giant clam, MH lighting?
The anemones will like to be fed at least twice aweek with supplemental foods, raw table shrimp that is cut up will work for it.
As far as the fish are concerned. it will be fine. i personally like the sanfransico bay enhanced brine shrimp which is about .50 cents more. your fish will also do well with some frozen mysis once and awhile.
