I have a yellow tang, blue tang, powder brown tang and a flame angel. How often should I feed them the seaweed strips? Everyday, Every other day? Ive been consistently keeping my phosphates at .06 and can't seem to get it lower. I'm thinking these seaweed strips might be some of the problem. Ive been feeding them with the strips once a day.

I too believe that nori contributes to the overall Po4 levels in the tank but having said that I also believe that no Tang or Angel ever gets enough greens in their diet within captivity. I fed nori to my tanks everyday for about a 3 years but with the amount of nori I go through it became a bit on the expensive side so I cut it down to 3x a week.

New era has a grazing block the tangs love. They boast low phospates. I feed nori every 3 days and add it to my diy foods along with garlic. I saw a difference both in color and health. I noticed the sea weed takes a long time to fully breakdown so just remove it as its floating around.
