I try to feed everyday, but mostly miss a day or so here and there.
Most people tend to over feed. |

i guess it depends....i feed every couple days maybe. the problem is finding a safe level for your specific aquarium. feed too much and you get algea..feed too little and your fish,coral whatever are not healthy. but you're doing right by testing.

sounds like you're right on target with the once a day 6-8 mysis shrimp should do it. Most fish will continue eating and look hungry even though they have already had way more than they would be able to in the wild..
