Hi: I am wondering how you go about feeding fish with different diet needs. I have 2 clowns, and am about to put in a yellow tang. There is no algae in my tank, and am intending to feed it seaweed for now. Any thoughts?

My Tank Thread
I like to feed a few different things to help supply the right nutrition. Rods food, LRS fish frenzy, TDO chromaboost & freeze dried mysis soaked in selcon. These are all really good foods & there are more out there. Also as you stated Nori is great for the tangs and other fish. I like to feed nori every other day. Hope this helps 
My tangs love ocean nutrition red and green algae. Meaty seafood is like candy to them. They all graze algae all day so having a new tank without algae is probably not ideal.

I am just starting my new tank. Could you educate me as to the benefits of copepods? Also would very much like to know how you culture them. I thought they were to be added to the sump why I don't know

They are part of the clean up crew plus they provide a great source of live food for mandafins.
