Tang feeding...
Hi,
I feed my fish with homemade fish food -- which contains Nori. There are bits of left overs in the tank, but the snails, pods and the sandbed eliminate it in about 6 hours.

Skimmers...PM V626 vs Bullet 2
Hi,
I don't know, but I swear that my tank doesn't look as yellow as it used to.
So, what makes the yellowing compounds difficult to remove ? Is it a non-polar molecule ?
