Feeding Fish and Corals

I'd love to see a show dedicated to the feeding of fish and corals. I've heard so many varying views on food types and frequency that it makes my head spin. I've heard frequencies varying from feed your fish three times a day to every other day. I've heard put phyto in the water once a week, once a day, and everything in between. I've had LFS tell me their fish flakes are all I'll ever need to feed my fish, and I've had LFS tell me all pellets and flakes are garbage, and I need to feed them the frozen packaged food they sell.

In my tank, I have a yellow tang, naso tang, oc. clown, coral beauty, yellow-tail damsel, and an engineer goby. Inverts: skunk cleaner, 4 peppermints, a brittle star, clam, christmas tree worms, feather duster, sebae anemone, and various snails and hermits. Coral: brown zoos, green pearl bubble, star polyps, and yellow polyps. My current feeding regimen is once per day (sometimes I'll skip a day), I feed my fish either beef heart or tubifex worms, usually alternating. And, I put either a piece of dried seaweed or romaine lettuce on a clip for the tangs and coral beauty about the same frequency, usually a few minutes before the heart or worms go in, because the yellow tang's a pig and usually eats all the beef heart if he's not full from his veggies.

I'd also love to see a show or at least a piece of a show talking about tank additives. I know you've touched on them before, expecially kalk, but I'd like to hear more. I currently use liquid calcium, coralvite, and strontium/molybdenum. I was using iodine, but stopped after hearing some comments against it.

Love the show!!

Michael
