I feed both nori sheets (sushi "paper") and pieces torn from the seaweed they sell for making soup. The latter are way cheaper. At King's Market on Kingsway west of Gilley, it's $2/pack and a pack is 50g or equivalent to 25 Nori sheets, so very economical. $8 for four soup seaweed packs versus $15-25 for 100 sheets of Nori (both about 200g). My tangs love both and I go through the equivalent of 2 or 3 sheets a day at the most.

I have 7 med-large tangs, 2 med-large rabbitfish and a small porcupine puffer that all love seaweed. I feed it now maybe 5 times a week. Often just one sheet a day but once a week I'll give them more. And yes, it makes for a high bioload.
