First of all, don't feed the tank, feed the fish and corals...while some fail to see the difference, just throwing food in the tank, (as I often do) leads to excess waste in the system. That leads to phosphates and elevated nitrates.
The Hippo if sick needs to eat 2 or 3 times per day, not every 2 days... Every meal should be supplemented with selocn and /or garlic. Feeding brind shrimp is like feeding popcorn...tasty and crunchy, but 0 nutrition...fish acn & do starve to death eating it...it's possibly the most worthless fish food going...To me, the ONLY good thing about it is that it can often trigger the feeding response in fish that are not eating...as soon as they start to feed, then they get something better. No way to improve the nutritional value of the either...Gut loading them with garlic or selcon, or other vitamins is almost an exercise in futility...Better to feed quality foods...the Cyclops-eeze isn't really a fish food either...they might eat some of it, but it'n not really what they need...Formual 2 frozen is one of the best prepared foods for tangs...lot's of greens and the necessary nutritional stuff they need...
