How many times a day do you feed your tank?

For me I try to feed twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening.

How much?

For dry food a small portion and for frozen food, a quarter of a block.

What foods do you feed? (dry, frozen, seaweed, etc.)

Dry food: Saki-Hikari Marine Carnivore and Saki-Hikari Marine Herbivore. Frozen food: Mysis Shrimp. Ocean Nutrition Green Algae Seaweed Sheets (I usually keep this in the tank all day, everyday for the tangs)

Do any of your animals in your tank have any special dietary need? If so what animal is it and what food are you feeding?

Not at this time. When I had the mandarin I was cultivating copepods.

Does anyone use an auto feeder?

At one time I did use the Eheim Automatic feeder everyday and it works great but now I only use it if I go away on a trip.

Feed 1-2 times a day. 80% frozen rods food. I would feed more dry but I have an anthias that is only eating frozen right now.

Once and just enough keep them fed but not contribute to excess nutrients. Fish get Larry's herbivore frenzy & nori, corals get a specialised blend of nutrients, aminos and trace elements. I'm more into raising corals.

I feed twice a day with the Neptune AFS on its lowest setting (meaning the least amount of pellets can pass through the device) 240 minutes apart.
I used a blend of dried pellets including the Neptune product.
Every other day or two I feed them a 1/3 to 1/2 cube of mysis shrimp.
All seem to be healthy... I have 2 clowns, 2 damsels, 1 chocolate tang, 1 green coris wrasse.
I need to add more small fish, as the snails have got the tank just about spotless!
I have RSM 625XXL for a reference.

Not sure is this is enough or not but helps this helps.

[Reefer-Madness]

I usually feed twice a day and leave a clip with nori in the tank for a few hours. I like to mix it up for my fish so I feed rod’s food, formula 2 pellets, omega one flakes, kelp flakes, or coral frenzy depending on what I feel like giving them. I also dose about 30 ml of phyto a day and I feed my corals with reef roids or coral frenzy pellets twice a week.

180 gallon with 1 clown, 1 fancy wrasse, kole tang, hippo tang, foxface, filefish, 3 cardinals - feed once per day around mid day - a sizable chunk of frozen food we make ourselves. half sheet nori 4 or 5 times a week.

I routinely skip feedings - at least once every 2 weeks they go for a full day with no food being added to the tank.

Toadfish (his own tank) gets fed twice per week
