1- when the battery dies
2- No idea what fish you are talking about - can you post a pic..Goggle brings up no fish by that name (hence why common names are sometimes useless)
3-You will get different opinions on this but I like either the Omega One foods or the Ocean Nutrition Formula two food (has spirulina which your angel & tang need. I would hope you are also feeding meaty foods to your fish as a strictly flake/pellet diet isn't enough
4 - No idea. Why are you dosing your fuge with it?

1. Replace like all battery operated devices. When the battery is dead.
2. liveaquaria.com
3. preference
4. read the expiration date.

When battery dies does reading turn faulty or go blank? My digital thermometer is 1.5 y.o.

Sorry I mentioned black bar chromi....thx

Regarding the thermometer - it is probably coming to the end of it's life. You might want to consider simply replacing it. If it is the type I think you might as well get a new one for about 6.99

Thanks for the correction on the fish!
Liveaquaria says:

Provide a 30 gallon or larger aquarium, with plenty of live rock for these chromis to hide in. They prefer to be in groups of six or more. They are typically a peaceful species, unless they are housed alone.

Damsels (which chromis are) tend to turn in very nasty adult fish and considering you also have a blue damsel in there, you may eventually have a war starting in your tank.
