Icon5 Tange Care and Feeding Inquiry.

Hello everyone, I wanted to get some advice some as to what to feed my Powder Blue and Achilles Tangs. They are looking a bit on the thing side. I currently am feeding 1 cube of Prime Reef a day and I had some Red Ogo Algea that was in my refugium but it started to fowl the water with a bad smell so I'm guessing it died (I only have a 7 watt power compact light in my sump) Also the Nori sheets seem to get ignored and the ogo was picked on at first until all the little growth was gone and only strands of the thick string. Any thoughts?



Photograph - Friday, December 19, 2008 - 1.5 lbs. of Red Ogo Gracilaria Algae in my refugium. Can't tell if it's dead?

Seaweed clip and some seaweed. I feed mine this 2 times a week. Plus a nice frozen mix I make.

keep up on trying to feed the nori. only place a small square (2" x 2") in the tank and leave it in until it is gone. they will likely not peck at it on the clip at first, but once it deteriorates they will likely eat it out of the water column, and eventually learn to eat it off the clip. usually they will figure it out within a week's time or so.

good luck!
