    Default Feeding Schedule

    As I pondered in another thread, I think it would be useful for others to see what you feed and how often.
    In the interest of keeping this somewhat scientific, please be as specific as you can with things such as how much you feed. Saying you feed a teaspoon of flakes is much better than 'a pinch'. I don't think we need to go crazy and say 'I feed 1.25 grams of mysis', but a common measuring spoon size would be good, like 1/4 cup, 1/2 tablespoon, etc.

    So, if you'd like to contribute, please fill out the following information in a response, or suggest something I'm missing.

    Also, it would make sense only to count things that have a solid impact on the water chemistry. For instance, you wouldn't count those tiiiiiiny fan worms that hitch on live rock but you would count hermit crabs.
