Various foods for recently moved tank

[Mirage2521]

I appreciate everyones patience with all my noivice questions, I can go read books but I suspect the info here is better. I have my new tank set up and I have tried feeding the 5 fish what the previous owner had been feeding them mbut I am not convinced it is what is best. The fish are, 1 sail fin tang, 3 chromis and a nice size clown. I did not get a chance to research all I wanted to before I had to take delivery of this tank so now I am on the wrong side of the kearning curve.
The PO had an automatic feeder set up tossing "Hikari Marine A" into the tank. He also has some "Ocean Nutrition Brine Shrimp Plus" and some "Nutra Fin Max" I would appreciate any opinions on what these guys need to stay healthy and get over the stress of me moving the tank......it's been 3 days now and they all seem fine but don't seem real hungry.

I've used the nutrafin Max before, all my fish seemed to really like it, plus the slow sinking is nice. (I used pellets, the flakes are a waste in my opinion) I've since switch over to Thera A+ pellets, cyclopeeze granules (microcrabs) and a large variety of frozen cubes: mysis, brine, krill, squid, emerald entree, reef plankton, and any other that catches my eyes) Variety is always good. If they are really used to the new food, it can take a while to train em onto something new though, so don't get frustrated if they don't go for the food on the first feeding. Also, for that tang, you'll need some algae sheets to supplement the feeding. Nori is always good, but a variety with nori is better. What size tank? Salfins can get mighty large.

The tank is a 75g and the sailfin is pretty big now, hand size or so, I was wondering if he might need to find a new home.

I would say definatly need to find a new home. It'll get much larger than hand size when full grown. And anything less than a 6 foot long tank, and it'll be miserable (this is always open for debate due to the number of people that insist they keep em in smaller tanks, just remember there a difference between a fish surviving in your tank and flourishing in your tank) IMO a 75g isn't really big enough for any tang at all. But then again, I do have a regal in my 55g at the moment (still a baby and setting up a 220g at the moment, so I'm not worried bout em)
