hi...may i know wad tangs u have?

maybe u can introduce bristletooth tangs like tomini or kole?

IMO, they like to graze more than the other species of tangs

my 2cents

[Clownfish]

maybe can try sea hare...

IMO, the quickest way to get rid of the sea algae, could be to wash/rinse/scrub the affected LR in some saltwater...

just my 2 cents.

Get them out of the water and scrub them clean? Are all your LRs covered up with so much algae? I have 3 tangs, 1 Regal, 1 Yellow and a Tomini. The mini Tomini is the most hardworking, always pecking here and there.

Erm, how big is your tank and what fishes do you have in it? Its very small, might get bullied by aggressive tankmates.

where did u get it ?

my tank currently now have one pair percular, one alage blenny , one cleaner shrimp and one six line warrse

My two tangs r yellow & blue tang, 4 firefish , 2 clown , 1 mandarin , 1 damsel & 4 cleaner shrimps.

is there other way than taking out the LR to scrub? i need to shift all the corals which is quite troublesome .

Btw , wat is mini Tomini?

Erm, its a tomini tang, the mini is the size of my specimen. Well, for starters, do you use anti anti phosphate media like Rowa? If you do, are you using a FR for it? Using distilled water for your top-up/water changes helps too.

where to get the tomini tang ?

My tangs when they are starved, will just peck on my furry LRs. You might wanna starve your tangs for a day or two and see if they wack the algae. Good luck!

[Qxnviolet]

Hrmz, thats true...but if you have other "fragile" fishes in your tank besides your tangs, make sure they don't die of starvation.
