    im going away for xmas and just wondering if it will be okay for my tang to eat formula 2 from an automatic feeder instead of nori?

    I have no clue if it is or not. I use both. A couple of time a week I hang some Nori and a couple of times a week I mix in some Formula Two into the normal feeding for my Tangs.

    I am sure someone else will have more insight for you.

    Why not shred the nori in a food processor or a blender and add that into the auto feeder?

    when i put it in it floats and then just goes straight into my overflow... id have to rig up a feeding ring to hold it until it sinks or something. thanks for the idea though
