How much nori is too much?

You are doing just fine, Phreezee
Good to see you feed your tangs 3 times a day as they are grazers and eat all the time in the wild.
If you want to vary the veggies, I would suggest Wardley spirulina discs rather that a flake food (unless it is spirulina).
The discs are hard and they fall to bottom of the tank.
Tangs love them

Naesco where do you get the discs from. I feed a half sheet in the morning and another half in the evening. On the weekends when I am home I will quite often feed another half sheet around 2pm. My fish go crazy and it is all gone in about 2 minutes. The rest of the day is spent picking any algea that has the nerve to show itself off rocks, glass etc. I assume they are getting something but there is no algea visible in that tank.

Wow, this thread opened up my eyes... never knew reefers feed whole sheets in a day either

Thanks for the tip about the phosphates Naesco.

Ruth, my Naso doesn't seem to eat much shrimp either, he'll eat a bit but prefers the nori.

Vertex, I get the same feeding frenzy

Wardley is often in the FW section of your LFS. Another good one is the OSI nibblers...fish crack. They stick on the glass.
