Ditto. Probably why I am battling phosphate issues in my display tank. In hind site I probably should have gone for smaller tangs but it is what it is at this point.

Not yet, once the shortage is resolved I am going to pick up some anthia's and probably up the pellet feeding to 4x a day.So y’all are feeding anthea multiple times per day? That might be why I get one and it will last 6-12 months then disappear forever.
I don’t trust auto feeders. It worries me as another thing that can screw up. I dunno. Maybe I will set up an auto frozen food feeder.Not yet, once the shortage is resolved I am going to pick up some anthia's and probably up the pellet feeding to 4x a day.

yeah I'm not sure that is true. Maybe obese but skinny tangs are underfed tangs IMO. I compare mine to pictures of fish in wild. If mine looks like that I figure I'm doing right by them.skinny fish live longer than fat fish

Awh man, I love geekin out on those threads. This guy probably has the best method i've seen so far.There are several threads about using peristaltic pump to pump defrosted food to tank out on RC and R2R. I want to try someday. The big thing is being able to reverse the pumps. To pull what is not pumped to tank back into refrigeration so it doesn't spoil.
Oh I’ve had the design in my head for years. No need to reverse, and no thawed food would ever leave the refrigerator except when dosed. You’d essentially create a closed loop running through the refrigerator, then inject the thawed food there. Again, just never took the time to build it.There are several threads about using peristaltic pump to pump defrosted food to tank out on RC and R2R. I want to try someday.

I feed twice a day

That lanthanum chloride really helped a lot, but it slowly rose from .03 to .2 in about two weeksHaving same issue.
