how much cuttlebone should be placed in the tank? AKA, should "some" cuttlebone be in the tank 24/7? Or alternate weeks like you alternate feedings?

thanks!

Me personnel I break off a chunk about inch or so and then just put it in and let it float, Tortuga nibbles on it as he wants and I replace when it is gone.
I leave mine in 24/7.

I always deep some head-size pieces floating in the tank. My turts don't eat them all at once so I replace as needed.
