I am guilty of undefeeding if anything but have not seen any ill of it so far...

If you ask me ... basically we're all underfeeding to some degree. Some species will adapt better than others. A few years ago there was a design floating around about this planktonic reactor that would do mini-surges all day and presumably dump live rotifers or similar over the course of a day. It looked like a neat DIY project - it was on reefkeeping.com - called it a "Geosapper".

Ok, the only picture I have that sort of shows it is this one. To the left of the tank is a 3" piece of 1/2" PVC on a fishing line. I roll a 2x3 piece of cut nori onto this and hold it in place with an elastic. The advantage this offers over a nori clip is that to eat it, the fish have to rasp it off instead of cut it off .. which results in far less waste. It also has the benefit that urchins and other inverts can polish it off at night. I can count on my abalone finishing off whatever the others don't get.
There are several variations on this theme that people use for feeding nori.. the main trick is that a clip isn't the best way for delivering nori because nori flakes down too easily if left loose.
