just rinse it really well with R/O water and secure it either to the bottom, a rock, or the clip.. snails and crabs also like it!

People always try to say that tanks are "to small" for fish, but this can be false on many occasions. For example: I have a tank around 50 gallons as well and have 2 tangs in it...they've been in it for a year and a half now and been doing great...so I could really care less what the "manual" says, if it works and the fish are doing fine..it's okay. I'm no expert but I have decent experience with tangs.

a Big Mac poor fish will have a heart attack lolal how do you know your tang is a her?
now i feed my tang my home made mush (search "Cole's Mush" to find out whats in it) i also try to put nori, green seaweed, or brown seawed in every other day. as a treat pull some chaeto out of the fuge if i have a little extra weekly
Because her name is Daisy. Wouldn't the be a silly name for a DUDE fish? LOL!
Your yellow eats Chaeto? For reals? Mine wont even touch it.

personaly i would feed it live food if you have any ,try mysis or brine shrimp.try to make it live because that would make it feel like its back in the sea and then it might feel more comfortable eating.
Woa there clownfish02 you gotta read up on this animal just a tad more. "In the sea" they are constantly grazing on all types of Macro-Algae in addition to eating other small meaty items in the wild.
Here is an online description on their eating habits
I am always open to new ideas. So I went and tried some fruit. It's amazing how much water can be displaced with a watermelon!
Next time I will try a cucumber. They have cucumbers in the sea I think I read somewhere. But at the rate the tangs are eating the watermelon it's going to be a while~
