No,it will do nothing but pollute your water.
The only thing phyto-feast feeds is small clams and pods. Just feed nori sheets,formula 2 and meaty stuff for blue tangs daily.

If you bought it retail, take it back for a refund
Nori sheets are the seaweed sheets that you wrap sushi in. Don't buy them at the petstores as they will screw you on price. Go to walmart or target or whatever grocery store you have and they will only be around $2 for a huge pack |

Try to find unflavored nori sheets. If you have any Asian markets near you they should have unroasted, unflavored sheets. |

nori found in asian markets used to wrap suchi. same exact thing as algae sheets sold in pet stores for a fraction of the price. just make sure its not flavored/coated ect. formula fish foods usually designate a staple food formula "1" is usually geared for carnivores and formula "2" are geared towards herbivores though all the formula 2's I've seen are still too meaty to feed exclusively for herbivores. the algae sheets are preferable for tangs. |
