i was just wandering that if i was to go 2 days a week with out feeding the tangs if they would be able to "fill them selves up" with the algae that is on the rocks?

now i understand that tangs need a varied diet and they do get that.

the main reason i ask is i am starting to notice that there is starting to be a build up on the rocks. the tangs pick at it all day long and i was hoping that if i feed 2 days less that they would eat more of the algae....

what do you think?
