I use Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies (the green kind). It's more expensive than the nori you might find at a grocery store, but I have confidence that it has no preservatives or seasonings I wouldn't want to put in my tank.

I don't do anything special with it. Just tear off about a thumb size section of three or four sheets, and attach it to a rock with a rubber band.

Both the Foxface and the Rabbitfish just love the stuff way too much for their own good. But, since they did such a fine job of ridding my tank of the rhodophytes, I don't mind giving them a treat.

Why no tangs?

In my humble opinion...

A 4' long tank is too small for a tang.

[HFG]

have you ever seen a tang in a 4'X3'... 4'x4'... If so did you (anyone you) notice a difference in behavior?

weatherman , i think elephen is talking about tang as in fish , not you sitting in a tank drinking a tang ! ( you know that stuff the astronauts north of you used to drink ! )

[Weatherman]

After seeing how many miles my Powder Blue and Yellow Mimic Tang put in a day (both in 6' long tanks), I stand by my opinion that 4' tanks are too small. (Really, for my Powder Blue, 6' is too small.)

I would never criticize anyone for keeping a tang in a smaller tank. I just wouldn't do it myself.

i sort of agree with you , but don't think every tang is a poor subject for a shorter tank . i have seen some that one should not keep in a smaller tank look perfectly content , while seeing the same species in a simular size tank going absoulutly bonkers ! i had a clown tang that seem to be clostraphobic so i returned him as i didn't think it would have been happy in a twenty foot long tank . the sad part is that someone else probally bought him and put him in a simular situation again .

then again, when you think about where tangs come from, you realize that all our tanks are too small

other than rabbitfish(dont like the spines) and tangs, what are some other good options for fish that eat algae?

[gwaco]

maybe one of the algae eating blennys or though not a fish if you could find one of the smaller species of sea hares . i had a real nice little one (about 3/4" long ) till it found its way on to the intake grate of the tunze powerhead and could get off and i was to late .
