Surgeon Fish need a constant supply of vegatation - more so than just tank algae. I use Seaweed Salad mix or Norii sheets attached to a rock via a rubber band. My 3 Tangs eat 2 sheets a day - none stop - as does the coral beauty angel, damsel, and clown. It is probably the most important part of their diet. They will graze on just about any vegatation so rather than running around looking for liquid vitamins - look no farther than the refrigerator. You can chop up carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, red lettuce, clover, and frozen krill - soak it to soften and drop directly in the tank like flake food, or you could buy a quality frozen mix and add supirulina flake.
I'm finding out my self - saltwater life can be a real challange. I can get everything seemingly right and still fail due to yet unknown circumstances. Taking it slow has helped greatly but is not the cure-all. Fish are easy - corals and inverts - super touchy.
