How to Feed Your Fish Better: 3 Simple Strategies for a Cleaner Tank | Newbie Tank Build 2.0

02-21-2026 In this episode, Jimmy is diving deep into the most important part of the day: feeding the fish! After a recent visit to Nashville to see Mr. Saltwater Tank and his massive 900-gallon aquarium, he's implementing three new strategies to improve the health of his FOWLR and reef tanks. Instead of one heavy daily broadcast, Jimmy is switching to a "little and often" approach, starting with morning nori, using an auto-feeder for midday snacks, and finishing with a smaller, targeted frozen food broadcast in the evening. Watch as he breaks down the specific LRS Frozen Foods he uses, how he target-feeds Petey the Porcupine Puffer with crab clusters, and how these small changes are already solving his brown sand and nutrient spike issues. 1:38 The "Little and Often" Feeding Strategy 2:48 Strategy 1: Morning Nori Supplemental Feed 3:44 Strategy 2: Using an Auto Feeder for Consistency 4:12 Strategy 3: Mastering the Evening Broadcast Feed 6:11 My Frozen Fish Food "Stash" & Inventory 6:53 Reef Tank vs. FOWLR Tank Diet Differences 9:07 Solving Algae & Nutrient Spikes by Feeding Less 11:04 Prepping Frozen Foods: Mysis, LRS, and Clams 12:46 Demonstration: Targeted Feeding vs. Broadcast 15:22 Upcoming Events: Reefstock Denver 2026 ______________________________________________ ⚠️ Products In This Video ► LRS Chunky Predator Frenzy (7 oz Pack) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/lrs-chunky-predator-frenzy-7-oz-pack-superior-nutrition-all-in-one-frozen-food-for-marine-fish-corals-invertebrates/ ► LRS Herbivore Frenzy (7 oz Pack) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/lrs-herbivore-frenzy-7-oz-pack-superior-nutrition-all-in-one-frozen-food-for-marine-fish-corals-invertebrates/ ► Two Little Fishies Sea Veggies Seaweed Green (30 gm / 1 oz) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/sea-veggies-seaweed-green-30-gm-1-oz-two-little-fishies/ ► San Francisco Bay Brand Frozen Mysis Shrimp Fish Food (36 mini cubes, 1.75 oz) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/frozen-mysis-shrimp-fish-food-36-mini-cubes-1-75-oz-san-francisco-bay-brand/ ► Ocean Nutrition Frozen Clams on the Half Shell (8 oz) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/frozen-clams-on-the-half-shell-8-oz-ocean-nutrition/ ► LRS Fish Frenzy (7 oz Pack) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/lrs-fish-frenzy-7-oz-pack-superior-nutrition-all-in-one-frozen-food-for-marine-fish-corals-invertebrates/ ► LRS Reef Frenzy Nano (4 oz Pack) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/lrs-reef-frenzy-nano-4-oz-pack-superior-nutrition-all-in-one-frozen-food-for-marine-fish-corals-invertebrates/ ► LRS Fertility Frenzy Frozen (7 oz Pack) - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/lrs-fertility-frenzy-frozen-7-oz-pack-the-ultimate-breeder-formula-for-vibrant-and-prolific-fish/ ► Eheim Autofeeder+ Fish Feeder - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/autofeeder-fish-feeder-eheim/ ► EHEIM Automatic "Everyday" Fish Feeder - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/eheim-automatic-everyday-fish-feeder-eheim/ ______________________________________________ Website - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com Follow us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/swaqdotcom/ Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/saltwateraquariumdotcom/ Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@saltwateraquarium.com ______________________________________________ 📩 If you have a request related to equipment in this video, or this video in general, email - [email protected] #saltwateraquarium #swaq
