    yup, could this be a method to induce fish to eat? i'm just glad it didn't starve itself to death, as some fish tends to do. anyway, it is still pacing from time to time, wonder why?

    Pacing? Tangs are some of the most active swimmers in the hobby. Is that the behavior your describing bob_8228?

    it seemed to pace along the front glass most of the time when it's not eating. i shouldn't have any worries then?

    which is the better way to feed caulerpa to tangs...by actually putting it in the main tank or by keeping it in the fuge and have some cuttings put in tha main tank during feeding?

    Thanks Craig (karma for you),
    Another thing, is it true that to succesfully keep caulerpa grapes, you need to keep the lighting for the fuge on for 24x7?

    24/7 lighting keeps the algea from respiratng and going sexual; thus releasing all og the nitrates and phosphates back into your system.
