Hey guys
I have
2 x 6mth old clowns
Spotted leopard wrasse
3 x blue valvets
Scooter blenny
Lawnmower
1 x Two spot goby

I'm feeding them 1/2 frozen shrimp cube in the morning and 1/2 frozen shrimp cube at night.

Is this enough or to much.

I've heard alot of ppl saying feed them every 2nd day

To give you an idea, I have 3 tanks with 17 fish total. For me, one feeding is a half cube split among the 3 tanks. I feed this 3 or 4 times a day.

So my half cube is feeding 17 fish (and I still throw some away sometimes believe it or not) while your half cube feeds 6 fish (whats a blue valvet lol), even if 9 fish its still more than me.

Feed a small amount, if the food is gone in seconds, then feed a little more. You can always add more food, but you can't remove it. I just use a turkey baster to squirt food into the tank. If food still floating around after 30 seconds, then you fed too much.

Uneaten food rots and feeds algae and bad bacteria. The best thing you can ever do for your reef is don't let food go uneaten. Fish poop feeds corals but rotting food feeds algae.
