    So if you want to give your angel some nice macro algae snacks an easy way to do it (although not the prettiest looking thing) is to get a small net breeder and fill it with some cheato. If you don't have a fuge this can also be a nice place for pods to hide out, and as the cheato grows it will grow out of the breeder on each side... soon your angel will find the treat.

    I just got a dwarf yesterday and he is always shooting over to grab a quick bite every 5-10 minutes. And seeing as my tank is still new (2-3 months), its nice that the angel has something to eat since there isn't a huge amount of algae on all of my base rock yet.

    Anyways, I'm sure a lot of you already knew that, but for those that didn't its a quick and easy (and cheap) way to make sure your angel has plenty of algae to peruse during the day between feedings.

    sounds like a good idea
    you also get the secondary benefit of nitrate removal as the Chaeto in the net also contributes to improving water quality
