Bigfish's swim into the sea - a tank journal

I don’t use an auto feeder thinking about them but wondering how much food comes out the plank per minute? Like pellets
Teaspoon / Tablespoon?

I would definitely agree that over feeding seems to be the main issue here. Take the auto feeder offline (or tune it to drop the right amount of food but make sure to monitor it closely ans observe a few feedings after making the change).

That along with staying on top of water changes and you should be golden. Tank looks great! That patch of cyano can be siphoned out when doing the water changes and should eventually work itself out. It could just be low flow in that area allowing it to settle and spread there.
 
Why I was asking how much food per minute was dispensed. When you check the plank food calculator 6 minutes is only equivalent to two frozen cubes which is nothing at all with his live stock? Which I know its based off jerky unless using pellets quadruples the amount dispensed ?

Pellets come out significantly faster than freeze dried, yes. It’s why many of us (myself included) have two planks - one with each type of food. I run the mysis plank for many minutes at a time, and the pellet plank only for seconds.
