Simple questions, I know, but thanx much,

Yeah, the nori definitely starts getting ugly after a day. I leave it overnight as my urchin and sea hare go for it then.

My tang didn't notice it at ALL at first. Just give it time. Be persistent.

Forgive me. One more dumb question. Okay, nine.
How do you soak it? Garlic extract? Crushed? Minced? Paste? What's a garlic supplement? I looked for garlic extract at two grocery stores. No go. Specialty store? Italian? Chinese?

Thanx much,

Try the Sera Spirulna tablets for your tangs. They do not make a mess in the tank or displease your skimmer. They also do not fall apart like the cheaper stick-on pellets.

Hey Mark! I use Garlic Guard by Seachem....its liquid garlic for fishes.....there is a more concentrated product; Kent Marine Garlic Extreme that you could use also, it worked for mine...I use it in all my fish foods....

Thanx Sarah. I'll see if SP has any tomorrow.

Thanx people. They aren't addicted yet, but both my Powder Blue and Yellow Tangs have been seen pecking at and eating the Nori.

Cheers,

and if that Powder Blue is a problem he can come and live with me ANYTIME!! I would really like one down the road as a "last addition"
