Just to let ya know...I've been using your algae sheet feeding stick idea. It really works well.

Should a Tang be fed Nori sheets Ad Libitum (assuming the tank can handle it)? If not, how much/per Tang per day ?

That is a great collection--something I am striving for

what tank sizes to you have and what combinations are you keeping in each?

BigJay · 09/25/2008, 02:39 PM

Better question: How much nori do you go through with that many tangs?

Capn - your PM box is full BTW.

Ryan009 · 09/25/2008, 02:40 PM

Bad photo .... Cool fish

About 9"

BigJay · 09/25/2008, 02:42 PM

Achilles tangs are amazing, thanks for sharing.

All those tangs except for one of the blue hippos are in the same tank, a 1200 gallon tank, soon to be 1700 gallons. I put about 2 sheets of nori in per day and they are gone in seconds, I'd feed more nori but am currently fighting a losing battle with nitrates and phosphates. I also add some spirulina flake food daily, but all my tangs are very eager to eat meaty foods ranging from cocktail shrimp that they often steal from the eel down to mysis and prime reef. Good stuff.

sunfish11 · 09/26/2008, 12:11 PM

I don't think I ever posted these tang pictures (although I may have). The Blonde Naso and Sailfin belong to SaraB. The Achilles is mine.

BigJay · 09/26/2008, 01:50 PM

That's a gorgeous Naso there, I love the pic.

I can't wait until mine colors up like that.

I know

I have four tangs and a foxface wanna be tang. I do not feed them any Nori.
They get ON"1 and "2 and mysis shrimp twice a day--that's it
