The problem with overfeeding has more to do with water quality than it
does with the nutritional health of the fish. You definitely don't
want to foul the water.

You do not want for your fish to starve as well.

That is almost never a problem, unless of course,
you never feed them at all.

Grazer fish like tangs should eat every day, couple times
per day. Similarly like domestic cattle. If you feed your
fish every 2-3 days you cause them to starve between feedings.
Some fish digestive system is very short, and food eaten
exits the system very quickly. After 2-3 hours they are hungry.
They are used to the situation in nature where they have
food in aboundance and they can snack on it during whole day.
Feeding in one large portion every 2-3 days is very wrong.
