formula 2 for tangs?
 

Would formula 2 be a good diet for a scopus tang? I have lots of macro in my display and thought the macros would suffice (actually I hoped it would control it) but it appears to be losing weight. It is picking constantly at the macros, but I think they may not be very nutritional. All I know that my LFS has is Formula 2 and think I might try it.

I use formula 2 for my two tangs and the rest of the tank. Do you feed any algae sheets?

My tangs get formula 1&2 and nori.

no, I do not feed any algae sheets

Nori? Yup.

Great. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any unwanted preservatives. Thanks.

For awhile I stopped feeding my tangs algae sheets/nori and they started display nutritional deficiencies so I strongly encourage it now.

Nori is a must for all tangs. A also feed formula 2. I rotate daily between OSI spirilina, life line frozen, formula 2 flake and frozen. But nori is everyday.

YEP definitely NORI on a clip everyday... actually all my fish go mad for it... foxface, lavender tang, 3 damsels and a blue jaw trigger... everyday.,.. sometimes twice a day

Caulerpa species have little to no nutritional value as you have seen, they are mostly water. Leave some sitting outside and check it out the next day. It often looks like green threads, not much left when the water leaves.

I've had success with rotating the following food for my tangs: Formula Two, Spectrum Pellets (Thera A) Nori, Mysis and Blood worms. I sometimes also include Formula one.

nori is in walmart, yokohami sushi party or something its called

Formula 2 flake, mysis and nori every 2 days. My scopas is chubby :)

I also feed my Powder Blue, Sail Fin and Yellow Tang formula 1 & 2, mysis & brine every day then rubber band a sheet of nori to a rock every other day. Once every three to four days I'll turn off the return and feed the tank some cyclopeeze, at my reef club I was given a bottle of Reef Nutrition's Arti-Pods and all my fish ate it a couple of feeding's but now they won't touch it I don't know why it's always refigerated. Oh yea, my marroon clown snacks on my arm every other day :lol:

forumla 2 pellets and frozen cubes. mysis, cyclopeeze, brine, bloodworms and nori.

obviously i dont feed my powder brown ALL of this at once..i feed about 3-5 times a week.

I prefer seaweed selects 24 hour to nori. Holds together much better and the fish love it. Nori tends to rip apart to easy and fly around the tank.

I seciond that... falls apart almost immediately... what brand is the seawed selects? I have been using the Two Little fishies kind that comes in the foil package...holds up a little better.

ocean nutrition makes seaweed selects. Get the 24 hour stuff. The 6 hour is the same as nori and crumbles too quickly.

Ph*ck walmart. Why don't you just go kill their workers' kids instead. If I had a button that would revert all walmarts to old growth forest, I would push it.
