Scott: I know you weren't implying that Tangs need only greens and neither was I. When I said that I thought the algae would be enough, I was refering to the green part of their diet. My fish also get Rotifers, Cyclopeeze, Formulas 1 & 2 and occaisionally mysis. I could probably ramp the mysis up a bit. Just really concerned about overfeeding as my skimmer is a pece of crap!

Thanks Stir.
Yes, Johnny you need to feed the fish nori. An alternative are the Wardleys spirulina discs. They are hard and they drop to the bottom and don't mess up the tank.
If your skimmer is weak, try using the powerhead as suggested. It will increase the level of oxygen and tangs love swimming against it.
Tangs (not all) are reef fish. They graze in areas where the waves are hitting the reef. (lots of oxygen). You will notice the difference in the fish.
