I used to hand feed mine nori when the hair algea crop was low.

Yeah I did try that and although she eats some cheato and some nori, it seems like the nori is too tough for her...

Default grow your own algae supply

this is what i did to supply my tangs, cowries, nudibranch and other algae loving creatures with an endless algae supply. fill up one of your spare tanks with liverocks and make sure tank is super nutrient rich. in no time at all you'll find abundant algal growth on all the rocks. simply switch one or two rocks into your main tank and you'll have an endless algae supply.

reeferious - you make a good suggestion. My problem is my tank is completely algae free (now - did not use to be). Which is good... except for the algae eating creatures. So the algae in my refugium will grow too slowly. I need a simple, small nutrient rich tank with no herbivores. Great idea!
