Invert feeding schedule

[Cuttlefish]

Well I dropped a decent amount of money on what i hope will be superior nutrition for my corals and inverts. I have oyster feast, roti feast, phyto feast and arcticpods, all made by the same company. Should I mix a little of all three (not including the acticpods) and feed the reef twice a week? If fast as possible growth was desired would every other day be better?

Im beginning to notice what these tiny particle foods can do to water quality if overused. Im assuming as long as I have the time, target feeding with a bottomless 2 liter bottle so that food falls genty onto each invert, would be best to make sure the stuff gets where i want it to go.

Id espeically like to get these christmas tree worms growing and reproducing as much as possible. Anyone care to advise on the best feed and schedule for these guys?

this is key.

it all comes down to finding the balance of import and export of nutrients. i'd say target feed a few times a week and watch your glass for excess or extra quick film buildup. if you find yourself scraping more often, back off.

fwiw, you don't have to target feed anything. i don't.

cheers,

Update... all this time ive been calling them amphipods, I think they are actually isopods. I think i may have exhausted all the info im gonna get on these things though. Just make a fuge and let em grow right, not much else too it.
