    +1 fish....white poop usually means internal parasite, but again, if they're eating, they should fight it off.

    Keiz88 is right. I only feed 2 times a day unless i am giving them a treat than it will be 3 times.
    I feed 2 times a week at night using baby brine shrimp. (that i grow) for my corals nightfeeding. I feed the tank at 9 in the morning than at 6 in the evening. if i do a treet it will be at 1 or 2. at night i do it at 11 or 12.

    Once a day or every other day is fine. If you feed too much, you risk overfeeding. I'm down to once a month feeding with my tank.

    Fish are programmed to eat when ever a meal is available.That don't happen every day in the wild,so it's easy to over feed.
    That being said.Just an 1/8th cube of frozen is plenty for even a fully stocked 200 gallon once every two weeks.
