Fish food fine-tuning: What are your challenges when feeding your reef?
Feeding time can be a time of tension in your reef tank. Sometimes this tension is seen between the fish competing for food and sometimes the challenges are more subtle in the form of trying to maintain water quality or the selective eating habits of the fish. The challenges in each tank may vary and our experiences at feeding time may differ. Additionally, what we do to fine-tune the mealtime tension may also differ. What are your challenges when feeding your reef?
Pro Tip: Feeding different types of foods and feeding at different places in your tank can limit the tension between fish and understanding the water parameters in your tank can help you optimize your approach to feeding. Watching your fish during feeding can also be informative (sometimes the feeding process is automated so observing may be an extra effort).
