help please . quickkkk!
i just put a automatic fish feeder on my 200g and it randomly dumped a LOAD of food in the tank. i ran and got a grav vac and got almost all the food out. it took about 4 buckets. my salinity is a 1.020 and i have a bunch of sps.. i am mixing salt and slowly rasing the salinity. Do you think they will be after and please i need advice!!

Actually today I did the same thing. I took out my diatom filter and sucked all the food out. I probably did that 10 times so don't worry about it.

I did the same thing a couple weeks ago setting up my feeder. I just vacuumed out all the food I could get, did a decent water change and changed out my carbon. Everything is fine now.

a ton of food in the tank will do more in feeding nuisance algae than it will do harm to any of your corals. what WILL do harm to your corals is lowering or rasing your salinity too quickly.
