how do you feed a tank that size?  I would think 50% water changes would have to happen weekly....still can't get over how great this little tank looks...

I feed the fish every 2 days or so, and Ill feed the corals once or twice a week. I will usually do between 1-2 gallon wc per week.

Either some brine shrimp or small sinking pellets.

do you use a turkey baster or do you remove them from the tank into a feeding tank?

Got the green light on the tank now I need to decide how big and what equipment.  I am not sure if I want a 5.5, 10, or 20l tank.  One advantage I have with the 20l is I have a CF lighting that would fit any 30" long tank.

That's a nice nano you've got yourself.  Packs to the gills!  Good work.

I have that internal overflow on the side. 2 compartments. 1 compartment overflows into the fuge also have a small container of carbon, and then the second compartment I have a submersible pump on the bottom.
