Hey guys I was wondering if you have to feed salt water fish more often than say fresh water, Because I can get away feeding my fresh water fish once a day, And I've been feeding my salt water fish twice a day. But my question is can I feed salt water fish once a day?

Good *onday *orning!
HAPPY *ONDAY *ORNING FOLKS! A day to shift gears and get back into the game a little. Still *onday, and in the *iddle of the Christmas season though....but still, things are open, and there's shopping to be done for New Year's Eve celebrations. I'm hooked on the 'light breakfasts' yet....Thomas's English *uffins and jellies to go with our coffee and pink *ilk. Hope all are well, and have pleasant thing ahead for the*selves for the day,

Setting up a Fowlr
So I'm barley starting my very first saltwater set-up and wanted your opinions on it.
So far I have the fowling:
50 gallon tank with canopy
Lights
Hydrometer
Heater
Protein Skimmer
2 Wave makers
3 Huge dry rocks about 120 lbs
Salt (from my LFS)
Four Questions
1. Am I missing something else besides substrate and Rodi unit?
2. Can I get 40 lbs of dry sand and 10 lbs of live sand? Will that work?
3. Im planning to get another 50 lbs of live rock, is that fine?
4. When I start adding water in my tank, I'm going to add the water in the 25 gallon bucket then add salt (measuring it as well) then pouring it in my tank then I grab another 25 gallon bucked and repeat the process until its full? Is this the right way?
Thank you for your advice

New tank build!
So after some headaches with my last tank I have decided to start fresh and have a little patience. I am going from a marineland 27G non drilled cube to a Deep Blue 35G cube that I will be drilling using the glass-holes overflow kit. My stand will be custom made. For substrate I will use about 40lbs of Fiji pink sand and roughly 50lbs of dry rock from Reef Cleaners.
-The light: I have chosen to try out the SBReef Lights 165W full spectrum ramping LED hanging about 8" above the tank using some bent and painted conduit. I will upload some pics of the light tonight, I know it is a black box design but the spectrum is designed and tested by reefers and not just shot gunned by manufacturers in china.
-Skimmer: For now I will continue to run my Aquamaxx HOB-1 Skimmer as it has been super impressive for being a HOB and only a few months old so ill upgrade to in sump later.
-The Sump: Right now I am still in debate as to what size I would like. I currently have an old 10g sump in the garage w/o a fuge area. I am not sure if I will use this for now since I have it and maybe upgrade later on. **I am open to suggestions on the sump situation**
-Other Equipment: The only other equipment I have right now are two sicce voyager power heads, one 250GPH and the other 500GPH as well as a phosphate reactor.
I am open to any and all suggestions to what I may want to consider adding to my build before it all really takes off! I will update this thread with pics as the next few weeks roll by starting with the light.

New Light
I finally broke down and got a new light. I at first ordered the Orbit Marine Pro light cause I found it cheaper online. I have to send that one back cause it was too short. I went to the fish store I get my stuff at and got one the correct size. I have to say I love it. It's got the timer on it so I don't have to worry about turning it off and on. I also noticed that I don't have to clean the glass as often since it's not getting left on for a long time. I ended up getting the same Orbit Pro but one that fits the tank.
ISO: Few medium to smaller pieces of CLEAN local live rock...
Looking to buy a few CLEAN pieces of live rock locally (aka no hair algae or bubble algae, no known flatworms in your system please or aptasia/majanos).....
Need to fill in a hole on the back left part of my aquarium. Ideally need 2-3 pieces that would fill in a space about the size of a football to 1.5 footballs in total....Just got some new frags so ideally would like to pick up this week or weekend so they have a good place to go once they're done acclimating....
Let me know what you have! Thanks!
