Default Slow continuous feeding regimen for Reef Tank

I read an article about a slow continous feeding regimen for fish corals and inverts.

http://www.colszoo.org/internal/drum...r/pdf/2004.pdf

The idea was, when you feed once a day, fish will gorge themselves, a lot of food will get wasted and break down into pollutants, and the fish won't digest the food well either as the transit time through their intestines is speeded up.

Feeding by a slow continuous method over a 24 hour period was supposed to result in more of the food being eaten and digested properly, less food becoming waste product to degrade water quality, and healthier fish and corals.

I don't know if this is a good idea to but I thought I might try it out and see what happens, maybe set up a reaction chamber with a powerhead on a timer to does RO water with food suspended in it.
