Wow! Happy starter, Dianna! What you should be feeding your starter (after discarding 1 cup) is 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of water OR (by weight) 4 oz. of flour and 4 oz. of water. Your starter may be unusually active if using dark rye. The minerals are loved and therefore will create an especially active starter. Definitely store in the frig unless you are planning on baking every day. You know it is happy when the starter rises and bubbles nicely. If you have not fed it for a while (over 1 week with no feedings), it could take 2-3 feedings to get it up and running again. Have patience and continue on! Elisabeth@KAF
