I think you need to look at something else besides lack of food for your corals not thriving. What you're suggesting looks more like a recipe too keep your LFS guys well fed

I haven't found that any of my corals, except my sun coral, need to be fed to thrive. Feeding just speeds up their growth.

When I get my new tank stable, I'm going to start feeding "Pappone" a couple of times a week.

I'm curious if its best to feed during the day time or a night? Or does that depend on the coral?

Seafood slurry + sugar. Involves amino acid use prior to feeding. Italians have mastered this method.

Hrm - interesting. Mine are out morning, noon, sometimes night... All the time, really! It seems rather random
