Love my new tangs, but my wife and I have noticed the smell. The tangs, especially the sailfin, love it, eat and shred it up quickly. We have noticed the smell of the decaying nori and the water is no longer clear as normal.

Is there any recommended alternatives for nori that doesn't cloud up the water or smell as bad?

Thanks for any advice.

I've never had an issue with the smell - can you change it out more often, and net out any pieces before they can start to decay?

Some of Julian Spring's Sea Veggies have more body to them, so won't break down as easily.

There isn't really much left after they eat it. Can see fine fibers swirling around in the water. It was recommended to do a half a sheet a day. Maybe go to a quarter of a sheet a day might help some.
