And crab cousins .Then I feed my corals .my tank looked nice and clean and today I got another wave maker and it was disgusting how much extra food was coming up . I have a dole wave maker on my 50 gallon and 2 power heads .Is that too much my fish seen ok ? I’m going to start half cubes of all that food tomorrow. I only have about 8 fish and corals and inverts and crabs .Had to get rid of my favorite crab because he killed a goby . Little bummed raised them all from babies . My question is do you think I’m over feeding like I think I am and is 4 powerheads and a wave maker to much for my fish? I also had a bad case of string algae but I took all my rock out last night scrubbed them all down cleaned my glass did a 50% water change am using phosguard and and Microbe Lift so hopefully that will kill off the algae!

For feeding, a general recommendation is to only feed as much food that the fish can eat in 2 or 3 minutes. Snails are good for algae control. What is the GPH for those powerheads? Flow probably isn’t a problem for the fish.
