Feeding nori eaters on vacation

[FL_Reef]

Hi all,
I was wondering what everyone does for their nori eating fish when they go on vacation. I have a tang and fox face that has nori available on a clip for most of the day but I refill it twice a day.

I’m leaving town for a 10 days and I do have someone available to come and feed every other day. They can refill the clip then, but I was wondering if there is anything that may hold more nori for longer? I’m going to have an auto feeder set up. Maybe I can tear some up and put it in there? I want to make it as easy as possible for this person.

Wish there was nori on a roll that coud be unrolled into the tank. If you could get rolls the rest could be built with a stepper motor and a 3d printer

Do you have auto feeders? Just put algae pelts in

Or cut Nori into small pieces and fill up your auto feeder.

Put some of this in your auto feeder with the pellets. It’s finely chopped pure seaweed and the mixed one is great. I use it in the feeder even when I’m not on vacation.

Sea Veggies Flakes

SeaVeggies flakes contain only seaweed, no fillers, making them a great natural choice to provide the nutrition your fish need to remain healthy, colorful, grow, and reproduce. Intended for herbivores, such as: Tangs and Surgeonfish Angelfish Moorish Idols Parrotfish Large Butterflyfish...

They'll be fine for 10 days on pellets. Would just put a good hunk in before you go. Also what kind of tang? Not all are strictly herbivores.

Use spirulina flakes or spirulina pellets in an auto feeder, best solution to a fish sitter.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I think I’ll try the sea veggie flakes. Maybe put some small chopped up nori in the auto feeder. Still have a little time to test it

I think it’s a tomini. It’s not strictly herbivore but does graze on the nori every day
