    All I have in my tank right now are two St Thomas Bubble Mushroom's and one Flame Scallop (somewhere) and one ToadStool Leather and one Feather Duster and a very tiny Coco Worm and 4 or 5 Kenya Tree's (not really sure how many I found another on a rock a while ago) So when I do the feeding for all these I was told to put in 2 teaspoon's of Phyto (kents) I know not the best but I will learn soon and get better stuff for them. I think 2 is kinda light so every other day I put in four. Is that enough to much not enough or what? How much should I be putting in the tank. (it is a 55 gallon)

    I would put none in, maybe once or twice a month if any, all those corals get what they need from photosynphesis, but due to your lighting they may actually benefit, maybe 1 teaspoon once a week...

    The Scallop is in the bottom somewhere in the shade he doesnt like light so does he need feeding? This is him when I first put him in, his whiskers are real long now and I havent seen him in a few days. I have to move rocks if I want to see him so I just let him be...I dont think photosynphesis applies to the worm's either. I may be wrong though...

    The scallop and worms yes, they are filter feeders...and will require feeding,

    About how much and how often. I want em fed good just dont want any wasted in the power filter...I guess it will get a fair amount any ways...say about one teaspoon every other day or more?

    That will be ok, but i should point out that the scallops do not do very good in captivity, best of luck with them...
