    if you were feeding the equivalent of one cube per week i might say thats more than enough for those too fish, especially since its driving the the GHA problem. My advice is to run a sump fuge and reduce feeding. That and mechanical removal of the GHA. I went 3 months without feeding a YT damsel Green Clown goby and a rainfordi goby and they are all fat and happy off the LR. My 46bf has a dotty and a clown that I didn't feed for a year, I also had a happy mandrin durring that time frame. You can really cut back with certain fish. I now (having defeated my GHA problem with a fuge and manual removal) feed daily since I have a tang and they need it, or at least every other day.

    I feed once every 3 days, I have 2 clowns and 1 LMB. I cut a mysis cube into 4ths and feed only 1/4th of the cube. The emeralds love the chase after the remaining mysis. If I see some floating around that hasn't been eaten, I will siphon it out so it's not decomposing in there.
