Too Much Nori??

Hey everybody,
just a random question - in my 150g setup I like to keep a regular & constant supply of Nori on a veggie clip at the bottom of the tank (right near the sandbed). Whenever it is all gone, I replace it wih more.
Both the fish & the crabs seem to love it and there is very little waste (from what I can see)

Now could this be seen as overfeeding (should I only feed the tank Nori once or twice a week) or is this all good (as seaweed is constantly available in the ocean)?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated :)
 
As long as it is getting eaten in a couple hours I don't think it is a big problem.. but I wouldn't feed more than a few times a week personally. If you overfeed your tank they produce more waste, raising your nitrates, and making you do more water changes.. I think it would be worse if the nori didn't get eaten and was left to sit in the tank and rot over the course of a couple days.
