Here's a pic of the sump, the skimmer is starting to produce skimate again.
My yellow tang looking a little skinny. Need to work on fattening him up. I feed emerald entree and Pacifica plankton usually every two days. And maybe once a week I rip off some nori that he eats. What else can I feed or should I be doing? I also keep moving the fox coral around, it's hard to find a low flow spot in my tank. |

I really liked the new era grazing pucks. All my fish would eat it

I just watched a video on those, they are really cool, I'm going to look at getting some. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is that all you feed the tang, every 2 days? no wonder it's a little bit thin. Tang is a grazing machine in the wild and it is constantly searching for food. You should feed it every day and have some kind of algae sheet (nori) or algae block in the tank most of the day for it to graze. I know this will produce a lot of waste but that's a price you pay for keeping tangs. Increase your nutrient exports.

I just got the marine grazing pucks from wais. So far the only one interested in it is the cleaner shrimp, but the tang is getting closer.
For the first time in a while my tank is pleasant to look at. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your help and advice. Hopefully the brown snotty crap doesn't reappear. |

Hey goose.
Give it a day or so with the pucks. When I used them all my wrasses would devour them. It might help if you put your nose in the container and take a big sniff. Lol. Gross |

Ha that's funny, as soon as I opened the container I took a big whiff, omg powerful stuff lol.
The tang was nipping at it a bit before lights out, the coral beauty liked it too. Also do you take the pucks out at night? Do you store them in salt water if you do? My light cycle is set to 8 hours right now, how long should it be? |
