What's a good way to fatten tangs up

Need to have algae (nori) everyday.
I purchase nori from my local oriental market and cut it up into quarters. I then clip two of the quarter pieces to an algae clip and let them graze away.
You will over pay. Now on the other hand if you can find some garlic infused nori at the LF, get that first. This will get yout tang used to the nori and then you can buy the regular nori at the grocery or oriental market at a quarter of the cost as the LF.What about seaweed selects that you buy at the lfs
My tangs end up ripping it off the clipRed nori is crack for most tangs, Angels, and moorish idols especially. Hawaiian species in particular love it. I buy it in bulk on Amazon (ocean nutrition brand) 50 sheets for like 30 bucks. Not 1/3 sheets like you get at LFS, full 12x12" sheets.
I buy cheap green nori from the oriental section at Kroger to supplement. I feed both.
There should be enough nori in there that the tangs can graze on it for about half of the day. If there is any left over at the end of the day, you fed too much. My tangs all look like whales but they're healthy!
I feed romaine lettuce. it's only like a dollar a head n it's enough for bout a week...
I actually feed two leaves a day
my naso sailfin convct and tomni love it

romaine has vit C and ALettuce has no nutritional value. It might fill the belly of your tangs, but they shouldn't be eating this. I'd highly suggest you stick with nori. If you purchase from your local oriental market, it's cheap.
