Nutrition counts

What do you mean nutrition count? I keep noir in the tank and I feed frozen once a day and formula, one pallets later at night before lights go out fyi I’ve only been in this hobby since the end of last year

Well fed
High quality varied diet
Should yield a speedy recovery

Feed it daily with nori sprayed with Selcon.

Where'd you get the yellow tang from? Haven't seen them at any LFS lately.

I got him at Dr. quarantine Fish online for like 200 bucks

I’m understand that Nori causes phosphates to raise really high. Is this true or am I being misled?

Fish need what they need
you can always dilute pollutants with water changes

All foods will increase your phosphates. I think in terms of phosphate content it goes frozen foods < nori < pellets. Higher protein pellets the higher the phosphates. TDO pellets is known to have very high amounts of phosphates.

Algae helps a tang’s immune system so it’s highly recommended to feed everyday. Only feed what they can eat within 30min. Use an algae clip with netting so they don’t tear it and have extra bits float away to rot. I feed my tangs a whole sheet once a day. A fat thick tang is a happy tang!

I feed quite a bit of TDO and nori and have pretty high phosphates - but so what? Keep your fish happy!

Also, these work much better than your standard algae clip and your tangs won’t make such a mess:

Just smart to keep them inline with nitrate imo
Common wisdom is 100:1

Well I’m growing coral too so I can just let the phosphate do what it wants
