ok my hair algae problem is all gone finally:birthday:. I have a foxface that is the most shy skittish fish i have seen in my whole life starting to regret getting one. Now the my agae is under control whats the best food for tangs/herbervoires that they absolutly love?

Wow!
Now be nice and tell everyone how you did it.

Yay you! Nice job getting that under control Please do tell us what steps you took.

Nori strips should always be in the tank for herbivores hanging from a veggie clip. I like the Ocean Nutrition foods - the Formula Two Pellets in particular are excellent and a good staple diet (containing the vitamins & minerals they require).

Ok here is the story I filled my tank and sump with tap water to get tank started. Big mistake! I then did a zeovit cycle lasted 14 days. I then got that forest you see. I then put 2 reactors in my sump one charcoal one phosban. then cut lighting to 6 hours a day. then went on eBay ordered a bunch of cuc cheap! Then got 2 sea hares,kole tang,hippo tang,fox face, and lawnmower blenny 1 fish a week . I also slammed my tank with 4 water changes a week 5 gal. I used rodi water at all times and did not ad corals. In 2-3 weeks you see results. Once phosphate rose I change phosban cause dieing algae does that.

Wow, thats a lot.

Watch your tangs, they like space and you will find that tank will rapidly become too small for them.
