wow thats a great question, I love the product "garlic extreme", I use it all the thime I have a powder blue abd a hippo tang. (both ick magnets) My fish dont get it. I make my own food now i use a blender and make a runney soup and freeze it in a zip lock bag and re cut it from there and yes i use real garlic in there food now. By the way im no expert, just a hobbiest like u that has tried several different ways. I hoped i helped

like i said im no expert but it works for me. I have a 265 reef for 4 years now, i have several tangs i have a 7 ocellaris (second generation) Also a pair that has been breeding for 2 years (every 2 weeks) So I like to use real garlic in there home made food it works for me.

your fish eat better than me!
you should start a cooking show for fish foods.

i hsve been reading on the threads about the garlic blend but i have no idea how to actually mix it. i am trying to feed my hippo tang. i got yesterday from SWF.com. it is very thin. its not picking at the seaweed strips and i dont know what to do? is it because he is still very new to the tank or should i be feeding him something special? please help.

With a delicate fish like that you should purchase from a LFS and watch it eat before buying. Try a mix of foods, good luck.

I use Garlic Guard a few times a week. My tang picks a little bit when I feed but if I add the garlic, it goes nuts for the food.

Tangs should be fed algae based food, they are herbivores.
To make homemade food:
From the grocer~ whatever is fresh, blood free, oil free...such as
clams,scallop, squid, shrimp, some nice white fish.
From the LFS~ cyclop-eeze
sweetwater zooplankton
spirulina
Any Ocean Nutrition formula
Piscine mysis shrimp
garlic xtreme {or fresh garlic}
Zoe
selcon
Liquid life zoo & bio-plankton
Golden pearls~ all different sizes if available in your area
Process in food processor or blender, put into freezer ziplocs, push down & lay flat in freezer. The more ingredients the better.
