whats the best diet formtangs in a fish only? I feed tangs the same in a reef or f/o, and the tangs in f/o always lose their pigmentation. Any thoughts?

I feed...

PE mysis
Form 1 and 2 rdf
Omega 1 seaweed, red and green. They do eat it.

Also, add garlic a few times a week.

Am I missing anything?

That's a fine diet. Perhaps soaking foods in HUFAs or amino acids.

Adding more variety never hurts either. Larry's Reef Services has food that has a variety of ingredients.

That Omega Seaweed doesn't disintegrate and get everywhere in your tank? Imo, that was the worst brand because it just fell apart. I switched to Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies. Even one of my wrasse and trigger and puffer eat it, but it's meant for the 2 Foxfaces. They sell a green, purple, and red variety. I only tried the green, but it doesn't fall apart like the Omega did.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
