Reefing newb
I have a tall 150 gal reef tank and have 1 eibli angel, 2 blue green chromes,1 falco hawkfish, 1 clownfish, 2 tomini tangs, and a sleeper banded goby. The Tangs seem to almost exclusively eat the seaweed strips I put in. The rest share the carnivore frozen cubes (thawed, cut, and covered with garlic) raw shrimp (cut into tiny pieces), and sinking pellets.
I can't seem to get them to come up to the surface to eat any flake food I put in. Sometimes the clown will be brave and get a bite but most gets pulled into my overflow box and into my refuge. Some of the flake makes it through that and is then discharged back into the main tank about half way down. That flake is usually immediately eaten.
Does anyone have any tricks or tips to get them brave enough to just eat it off the surface so I don't have who knows how much wasted and rotting in my refugium?
