Like I said, I feed nori every other day as more of a treat. I primarily feed mysis as well as a variety of other foods, and I soak with garlic sometimes and selcon sometimes. All my fish have fat bellies, so I'm sure they're happily fed.

Let's not get into the whole Tang Police thing. If you want tangs to grow to the size of a dinner plate, leave them in the ocean.

You can tell if you are underfeeding your tangs because they will have a little piched in look to the stomach area.

CMGQ you should be aware that this tang will get the size of a dinner plate.
The 70 gallon tank is less than half the size it and all tangs with the exception of kole and similar species need. You have a beautifull reef tank filled with rock and coral but, your tank does not provide the necessary swimming room this and other tangs require. (6 foot length).
