    prob way too much unless you're skimming like mad! maybe a little flake food per day and then half a cube every few days and skip a day here or there! I overfeed! If they're eating it all and its not creating a problem, i guess its fine!

    yup theyre devouring it! But i siphon out all the excess (usually about 0-1 flakes) Do your guys' clownfish do laps around the tank? Is this normal, or are they just getting used to the tank? My kuhli loaches in my FW did this for about 3 days then went down into their underground lair :)

    hmm do i need a powerhead? I'm running a 55 gallon rated eheim on a 46 tank so i thought that would be enough. I think 116 gph.

    you should get a couple koralia 750s. IMO water movement is just as important as filtration in saltwater.
