I have an in tank refugium which is just an egg crate partition in the back. Macros grow between that and the back glass.

So my two tangs could always graze all day on the macros that poked through the partition.

I take some seaweed stuff from my tank refugium evert few days. There are also feather dusters and mixed in that my copperband eats.
I have a Powder Blue and A Purple Tang in a 210 . A Blue Tang and Yellow Tang in a 100 and they are always grazing on the rocks.

I feed mine nori once a day with this nori clip I made. I used the magnet clip set from Dr. Fosters and just cut a piece of plastic tubing. It works great.

All depends on how much natural algae you have in your tank

I feed mines 7 days a week 365 days a year. I have a Powder blue, Cheveron and Achilles tang oh yeah my Navarchus Angel loves the sea weed too in my 270g. They get 1-1.5 12'' squared sea weed sheets every day.

Mine gets very aggressive with pellet food, not letting the other fish feed. So (every day) I put in a strip of seaweed about half an hour before feeding the pellets. The tang will eath the seaweed and still be aggressive with the pellet food, but I think he's not quite as aggressive, so the other fish get a little more chance to get at the food.
