Food for thought.

If he had the last few fish PoonTang mentioned the it wouldn't be a big deal as long as he made sure there was pods available for them to eat. However since he's waiting to see the tang's spine before feeding, I have an issue with that.

As I said before, the nutrients to grow the algae, to feed the pods, to feed the fish --- has to be coming from somewhere. Is there enough breakdown from LR erosion to do that for 8 years?
