Okay so I am about to rant a bit. I have 8 tangs in my tank hippo, 2 yellow, 2 sailfin, yellow eye kole, desarjini tang (spelling), and a clown tang all love to graze the rocks all day but not for algae. They tend to look for pellets and pods. Maybe due to not much algae in tank at all and to much nori??

The next rant I have a copperband butterfly and a File fish that do not like to eat aips. Aips I do have a little issue with but I had 20 nudi but my 2 6 line wrasse ate them I'm assuming. THESE FISH ARE ABOUT TO HIT THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE.

I know I have a huge amount of flow in the tank but I do cut the flow off a couple of hours a day so they can graze.

4 of my pumps are being cleaned and the other 4 will be serviced tomorrow which is why you don't see them on right side.

I feel ya. That’s so annoying! Do you have any Urchins or peppermint shrimp? I’m assuming your struggling with green hair algae?
 
Nope I just love the tangs had a bunch of peppermint but the wrasse got them hahaha
