Default feeding schedule?

just curious how often people feed their fish.....i have 10 chromis, 3 tangs, cardinal, 6line wrasse, gobie, and two cleaner shrimp in a 180 gallon tank....i been feeding with one cube of frozem mysis shrimp every other day along with seaweed on the clips for the tangs....should i start feeding every day?....i feel like im starving the fish, even though friends in the hobby with successfull tanks say im feeding them just fine....just curious what everyone else is doing?.....maybe should i add some other type of food to their diet to mix it up on the off days im not feeding the mysis shrimp?

Please feed morning and night I do and my fish love me they know when i walk into the room 2 cubes in the morning and 2 cubes at night and feed dried seaweed or Norri every other day. you have plenty of fish to keep them happy you are starving them. If you do not have filtration to support it you need to upgrade it. a good skimmer will help it eliminates the overfeeding part by skimming it out! Just my thoughts feed them they will be healthy. I would like to see a human eat every other day! Some of us should!

Feed me Seymour!

I feed every other day. There's really no need to feed every day.
