Please look at my previoius post to get a better understanding of where I am comeing from.
I understand that feeding fish less , is better than feeding them more. However, I am begining to realise that you have to feed Corals and anenomes as well...And then there is all this talk about "keeping your water perameters perfect" (obviously thats a dream that most people want for their tanks). However, Then i also read, only do a 10-20% water change per week. IF even that much... isent feeding everything going to be "over feeding" if you got to feed every animal every day?!??! how do people keep there tank clean...too much food makes bad water quality-->dead fish--->dead corals---> algea outbreak!!!! AT least thats what it is in the freshwater world...
with a freshwater tank, I did 50% water changes everyweek...maybe twice a week...to keep the plant fertilizers and nutritets in check and keep the water quality up...so, since you are doing a simular thing, by adding so much stuff to the water (food instead of fertilisers) why would you NOT want to do a 50% water change weekly , like a freshwater tank??
how do you keep good water quality?
also...why do reef and saltwater tanks always look more crystal clear than a freshwater tank? ALWAYS, you put any reef next to any freshwater, and I guarintee you the reef will look cleaner and nicer...Does that have to do with properties of the Salinity in the water?
