Hello All,
I'm looking for some advice. I have a 29 Gallon Biocube that is about 3 months old. The tank was started with live rock and a few small corals. Everything is going fine, and about three weeks ago I added my first fish, a Pygmy Angel. I have been feeding the fish Mysis, and he has been eating well.
Last weekend I added a Toadstool Leather. I understand that the leather is a filter feeder, and I want it to grow so i have been feeding a small pea sized chunk of Cyclopeeze a couple of times a week. I don't know if the leather is eating any of it, but the Pygmy loves it and happilly chases it around the tank gobbling it up. I don't feed Mysis on the days that I feed Cyclopeeze.
I guess my question is, should I continue this mixed diet, or should I just feed Cyclopeeze every day? Does the fish get everything it needs from cyclopeeze?
The other corals in the tank are Xenia, Hammer, Candy Cane, and Pipe Organ. I do not target feed any of these. Should I? I noticed that the Candy Cane only seems to put out its sweepers (?) at night, so should I do night feeding occasionally as well?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Karl
