Default How often should you feed the Fish

I'm obviously doing something wrong here with the seaweed; I'm just not sure
what it is.
I'm using Julian Springs Sea Veggies (green seaweed) They come in sheets
that have lines on it from top to bottom. In the morning I break off a strip
and place it on a clip and put said clip into the tank. Within minutes the
strip I broke off is gone either eaten away by the grazers or free floating
because one of the fish tore at it and ripped the area attached to the clip.
I wind up adding more to the clip several times through out the day. My
question is; what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

Yea but I think he was asking how often the fish get
the seaweed, not how often you have it :-)

Yea most people ad it about once a day, and give
enough for the fish to graze on through the day.

I had nori once or twice a day.

I use a rubber band to hold nori on a polished oyster shell. I hung the
oyster shell about halfway up the tank with some fishing line and
another rubber band. It makes it harder for the Tang to just wolf down
or rip off a bunch of nori. Instead of 10 minutes, the Nori usually
lasts about 6 hours. I replenish whenever I see it empty which is about
twice a day.

I also learned to cut the nori into 4" by 1/2" strips. It seems to work
better. It only takes me a minute with a scissors.
