Green Algae Sheet Instructions

[RockingCricket]

Can I ask why the instructions on the box of the green algae sheets recommend you should remove any uneaten algae after 24 hours? Is it because the algae is already dead and is therefor decaying in the water?
If so, is it ok to take the day old piece out and immediately replace it, or should I reduce the size of the pieces I put in untill there is nothing left after 24 hours? I don't want anyone going hungry, ESPECIALLY the new blue faced angel.

the instructions tell you to remove any leftovers so they do not decay in the water. i would try to reduce the amount being fed until there is nothing left after 24hrs

whats good about nori or whatever algea youre using is that as your fish shred it, it becomes particulate food for your corals

That's just bull. No way. The prticle size, shape is wrong for pthyto, and a zooplankron feeder will derive no nutrition even if it doesn't reject it.
