    Hair algae issues

    One other note I was thinking about a sump and was wondering if you had any experience with the Aqueon Proflex Model 2 sump which already comes ready to go.

    Regal Tang not eating

    I have frozen shrimp cubes that I have tried putting in and nothing.. I also bought some omega pellets that say they have garlic and he didn't go for those either. Should I isolate him with a sick fish acrylic mini tank that can be placed in the tank? The tang is small I would say about 1.5 in
