I want to feed my fish the best possible diet, any advice would be appreciated. Currently I am caring for-

Ocellaris Clown
Foxface
White Tail Tang
Yellow Tang (Biota)
Chocolate Tang

My current routine is nori 2-3 times a week.
Daily feeding of -
San Francisco Bay Brand- Seaweed Delight
Hikari- Spirulina Mysis Shrimp

Thank You
 
Mix some Larrys, mysis, and these for a well balanced feed.
Tangs need nori or equivalent daily.
I guarantee you currently don't feed enough.
Minimum 3× a day with 4+ a better option.

Reef frenzy is also good. Variety as mentioned. I feed 3-4 times per day.
 
Agreed with @Idech.. the tangs should be fed nori daily. I suggest folding the nori over a few times till its really tight.. this stops the tangs from shredding it all over the tank within minutes.
 
Reef frenzy is also good. Variety as mentioned. I feed 3-4 times per day.
I use Larys Reef Frenzy and Herbivore Frenzy. All my fish love them.
I chop it up and paste it into old mysis packs. Then I have cubes.
I feed 12+ cubes a day in my 4 current systems.
150, 50, 35 and 15.
Also feed some clownfish pellets pellets to my Maroon Clown.
These get feed 2-3 times a week mixed in with the cubes.
The only fish that will eat nori is my filefish.
Esv dried Phtyo 2-3× week.
