    How many different types of food can you feed at the same time and should I alternate between day and night time feedings.Also may I feed dry food and frozen together?

    I can eat hot dogs, fries, ice cream... lots of food at the same time... LOL

    Anyway... i feed a meat based food usually twice a day.... and feed dried nori throughout the day for my herbivores. They all eat well

    Ohh and my meat based is frozen.. I dip a cup of water from the tank... let the frozen thaw in it for a few minutes.. mix it around so it breaks up..

    I do the same here. Meaty base along with nori. usually brine/mysis/cyclop-eeze/nori/broccoli/garlic. Everyone gets some and I dust the corals with the left overs.

    i've got some frozen mysis enriched with spirulina (or something like that), basic frozen brine, flakes for soaking in garlic, and rods food

    i usually mix it up and feed a larger portion of the mysis or brine in the morning and a smaller or a different sort at night (about every other day). i do garlic soaked flakes and rods about 2 times a week. variety is the spice of life, they say. the biggest thing is not to overfeed. you will have nutrient problems. it's hard to hold back the hand sometimes though.

    actually about once a week i intentionally over feed (more food than they can eat in about 3 minutes) to make sure my CUC and my diamond goby get a little meat.
