How much to feed?

[Blue Tang]

Hello all, Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year!, ok , at the moment my 600ltr tank has 1 saddleback butterfly, 1 scribbled rabbitfish, 1 brown scopas tang, 1 percula clown 1 blue tang, 1 siganus corallinus rabbitfish , Im just wondering how often you guys and gals feed your fish?I have some hair algae on the bottom of the tank so thats why i got the rabbitfish, to control it. I give the fish a sheet of nori every couple of days as well as live brine shrimp, also some nutrafin max granules. could it be that im over feeding them and thats why i have the hair algae problem?I walk past the tank and they all come up close like they are hungry so I normally give them some food , am I doing the right thing?Any advise would be very helpful. Tnx ,

That is what fish do. Eat, sleep, reproduce They would probably eat 20 times a day if you were willing to feed them. I feed one cube of frozen once a day with seven small to medium fish. Some feed every other day and others as little as once a week.
