Flavored or spiced nori I guess could cause those problems, but the
100% natural as harvested nori does not present those problems. I feed
my tangs a continuous supply of it as well and its never caused an
algae outbreak in SW and never have had a alagae outbreak in fw
either. Other than it being ground and processed in to a tablet form
mainly for ease of feeding since all you have to do is drop the tablet
in and it sinks unlike a nori sheet which would floar, I would have to
think that wafers could cause an algae outbreak just the
same......since there is more fillers used like binders to hold the
tablets together.....

I feed all my algae eaters be it the large snails or flying fox,s and
pleco etc nori algae sheets......They like it much better than the
typical algae waffers and its much cheaper as well. I can get 12
sheets 9 x 12 of nori for $1.25 a pack at the local oriental market. I
use a magnetic clip or rubber band it to a stone after I roll it up
some, and drop it in the tank........Don;t foul the water if its there
for a few days either, and I find lots of other fish that usually are
fed nothing but reg fish food nibble at it as well.

Interesting idea ). Googling only found some cautions about not
buying
flavoured or spiced nori at grocery stores, that some types can
elevate
the phosphate levels in a tank, and some types can be a bit messy to
work
with. Basically marine seaweed. I'll have to swing by Chinatown to
try
some ;~).
