    you should jugje by your water readings and algae growth. if you are reading high nitrates or phosfates it is a good sign to cut back on feedings. can we get some more info about your tank and fish?

    your tangs to me should always have a veggie chillin on a clip for them to grub/graze on. I feed my clowns every other day with a frozen food mix I made. It forces them to eat stuff aroudn the tank and keep it clean, every once in awhile i skip 2-3 days so the whoel tank gets fully cleaned.

    but mike said it best, if your levels get crazy stop feeding.
