Mind you, I have no evidence that this is legitimately effective but it sort of makes sense that having 6 days of poop vs 7 in the tank cannot be a bad thing.
... And I prefer lazy Sundays

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Wow you guys feed your fish a lot. In my experience that just creates more waste to clean up. Even if they are eating all the food they're going to produce more waste.
I feed my fish maybe 4 days a week. Sometimes I forget and I know there has been a week here or there where I only fed them twice. Other times I feed them two days in a row but not too often. My younger fish are growing plenty quickly and everything. There seems to be no difference in fish health from when I had just started keeping fish and fed every day.

Thankfully fish don't get fat like us!  For those feeding to much, it's their headache - the fish probably love it.

Totaly agree with 850R, even if you read the old books they always said "feed your fish only what they will eat in X time". Also likes that he "fasts" his fish one day a week (good for the soul LOL).
I usualy feed three days flake, than one day bloodworms or brine shrimpe, two days flake, one day fast, than back to bloodworms or BS.
