I need to know when i need to feed them and how many times. and when to keep lights on and for how long. another concorne is my protein skimmer is letting to many micro bubels inside the tank. and bearly is skimming anything out..

First off what kind of skimmer is it??
Second the tang should have a lot of algae ..
I feed 3 times a day but my skimmer is HUGE and I have about 1 lbs of rock per gallon..
Lights is another story, what kind of lights are they and what wattage..
I run my ACT 2 hours befor MH go on and run MH for 10 hours then run ACT 2 hours after the MH go off..

NORI sheets of algae dry sheets or at least algae flakes from LFS.

What do the BULBS look like???

 

[rusmirh]

Like bubbels. They are little tiny ones. That the skimmer produces and lets them out. In side the tank . My problem is maybe i dont have a sump tank to keep those bubels traped there . I relly dont know i will try to post a pic in a few.
