Fish stock:
Hippo tang
Tomini tang
Flame angel
Midas Blenny
Starry Blenny
Orchid dottyback
Swiss gaurd basslet
Melanarus wrasse
Peppermint hogfish
Flame Hawkfish
engineer goby
pair of clownfish

For the sake of improving water quality and combating GHA would it be advisable to feed 2 cubes of mysis EVERYOTHER DAY??? As of right now I feed 2 cubes 1x/day.

Definitely not.
Melanurus wrasses may be versatile but he will be skinny with every other day feedings. Your tangs will become more aggressive too.

I would NOT do that. Find other means of fixing the GHA issue, but leaving your fish hungry is not the answer. Get some CUC that will eat it, maybe an urchin.

No - you should feed at least daily, preferably multiple times a day for best health. It would be better to step up your filtration than cut down on your feeding.
That sounds like you should increase your filtration - as mentioned, your fish should really be fed multiple times a day.
