I know the 90 is a bit small but in the future after my wedding and all that **** is paid for wife said i can put whatever size of tank i want in the basement, so this tank is only for the time being. Also I took about 30 pounds of lr out of the main display and put it in the sump to make more swimming room for them while they are growing and as for the regal, im going to be holding off for a couple months to let everything stabilize.
I have tried everything you guys have said so far and im just at a loss. I dont understand why they wont eat anything other than this weird plant stuff i got from the lfs.

It is never a good idea to add a fish with the idea that you are going to move up in the future. Things change, marriage, divorce, unemployment, a move etc.
If you have a gold rim tang A. nigricans (it does not have orange on it like the powder brown tang A. japonica, remove it and take it back to the lfs. They should not be available for sale. For some reason this specie of tangs are almost impossible to keep (often refusing to eat).
Your tangs are algae eaters. Do as has been suggested.
Do not feed macro algae until the fish are treated.
Feed only garllic extreme or garlic extract soaked food as the idea is to get as much in the fish as possible. Feed very often. Dry food like spirulina disks or pellets and nori is best as more garlic is absorbed.
In the future only stock one fish at a time one month apart. It avoids many water, cyno and algae issues.
