Completely impractical, pointless and inhumane... :angry::angry::angry:
Forgot to mention carbon should be replaced each month.
Looks like a yellow boring sponge more than likely Cliona celata
You should add the carbon at a rate of 1g/litre if added passively in your sump, you could halve this amount if using a reactor for the carbon. The...
I started vodka dosing about 4 months ago and stopped after 2 months, I was seeing a massive reduction in algae and my nutrient levels had dropped...
Before dosing any carbon source I recommend you read this article: Vodka Dosing by 'Genetics' and 'Stony_Corals' - Reefkeeping.com Carbons...
How much carbon did you use and what is the volume of water in your system?
To answer your question, you need to know what your nitrate and phosphate levels are? Plus are you dosing a carbon source? Corals produce and excrete...
They have eaten both types, the little brown ones and the small white ones.
They are good for your tank, they can be difficult to grow. They filter out and feed on organics in your tank. Some have algae associated with them...

Sounds like a shield limpet but a pic would confirm it.
The fish which are commonly kept in this hobby are planktivores and are naturally grazing fish they eat very frequently but a small amount at a time....
They need the nitrate for an oxygen source NO3, plus phosphate and carbon as part of a food source. Each chemical has to be in the right proportions.
Anerobic bacteria require nitrate, phosphate, an organic carbon source and a low oxygen environment. There are also some bacteria which are classed...
There will be plenty of anoxic environments under your algal and bacterial biofilms, plus a massive one in the pores of your rocks and sand. These...
In the morning I will add a small pinch of flakes (6-10), and then some shrimp and then later on a small amount of granules (very small pellets).
To answer your question on haw much to feed at a time, I just add a pipette of food and observe if it gets eaten straight away then I'll add a second...
