How Much Fish Food To Maintain My Cycle

[Lazerus]

Hi all....

I've an 84L tank (22gal)

I need to use an automatic feeder for the next five days to maintain my fishless cycle while I'm away....so how much would I need for each dose of fish food?

A pea sized amount?

A matchbox sized amount?

More? Less?

Can anyone give me an indication of how much I should use....don't want to go nuts and overload the tank!

Any ideas? I'm about to set up the automatic feeder now....

pea sized amount is about right

better to have not enough than too much
