Scott,

I have the most success feeding my brains during the day. First I will shut off the sump and feed the fish, this causes the brains and donuts to swell as they can usually tell when I dump in frozen foods. After the fish are all happy and bloated I will remove the light hood for 10-15 minutes-thus allowing the brains and donuts to believe that it's nightime. I then place small chunks of frozen brine or mysis into the awaiting feeders of these corals. Feeding the fish and other critters ahead of time helps the corals in a huge way, as when they are full they are less likely to steal food from the much slower feeding corals.

cheers, Rich
