Starting new tank. Help on scrubber sizing
Hello
I have been reading on algae scrubbers for a long time, and have found a wealth of knowledge on this forum. I have recently started a salt water aquarium 3 weeks back, its a 30 gallon tank with 20 pounds of live rock. The tank has been cycling and has just completed the ammonia cycle with ammonia and nitrites dropping off to zero. I plan to add only 2 clown ocellaris medium sized fish to the tank. But before i add the fish i want to build and add the algae scrubber to it.
My problem is , i have no idea how much 2 clown fish eat , i intend to keep them quite full on a health varied diet, but i don't know how much food this will turn out to be. 1/4 cube a day , a half or whole cube? If someone can help me figure out how much food i will be adding to the system i can appropriately size my scrubber.
Thank You
