Black Tip nutritional requirements

i recently just moved from working at one lfs in town to another due to moral reasons and my new shop has a 3000+ gallon tank housing a 2 foot black tip reef shark. Myself and the new fish room manager have been concerned if he's getting enough nutritionally and are having a hard time finding any info on the nutritional need of black tips. Currently he gets a mix of squid, smelt and large whole shrimp once a week as well as krill and mysis when we feed his tank mates. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
 
Once a week sounds alittle light to me but the varied diet is good. Squid, shrimp and good marine fish flesh is a good choice. There are of course vitamins out there if you are worried about it not getting a healthy diet but you shouldnt need those unless you arent giving it a varied diet.
