Naso Tang Feeding

www.ipsf.com A very healthy 10-year-old Naso Tang feeds on Tang Heaven Green seaweed (Ulva sp.) at Indo-Pacific Sea Farms in Hawaii.
Fresh seaweed is the best diet for surgeonfishes. It prevents and cures HLLE (head and lateral line erosion).

Please use only captive-bred organisms in your reef aquarium.

The tank is 15 feet in diameter and about 2 feet deep. It is a swimming pool used for production of micro-organisms (bacteria and invertebrates) with a flow-through seawater system.

Yes, TOAOProdigy, you can put a young Naso into a 75 gal setup. It will grow over time but it probably won't get nearly large as the one in our video due to constraints related to space and diet. Ours has had a huge tank and unlimited access to fresh natural foods for a decade -- that's why it's so big:)

that is one stunning tang, perfect health, you must be proud!

Thank you for the comment! For a 10-gal Nano Lagoon we advise letting the system mature for at least 6 months, then adding only one small, captive-bred reef fish such as an Oscellaris clownfish. Note that these are primarily soft coral tanks, not fish tanks. High water quality is maintained by having a predominance of photosynthetic organisms (corals, diatoms, etc.) as opposed to non-photosynthetic organisms like fishes.

beautiful Naso glad to see a mature healthy tang well done what size tank is he in by the way?

[@ipsfdotcom]

@Teslasdik If you have only had the fish for one day it may not have acclimated to its new surroundings yet. It may take a few days for him to feed. By the way, are you using fresh seaweed from Indo-Pacific Sea Farms? If you are using a random package of nori from a store that could be your problem.

it looks more horse than fish. What a beast

[@WhoTFstolemyname]

beautiful...
I'd love to see a nano lagoon on stocking with small reef fish. Maybe you have one and I'm not seeing it, but your videos are top notch. Great work!!!
