Default Reef Roids

It is all so confusing! I thought the reef roids were to feed the filter feeders, anenomes, other inverts and corals. Am I wrong in this? Will the reef roids be enough? I also feed NLS to the fishes.

And this may seem like a stupid question, but why do you shut off your pumps? If it goes through the protein skimmer it is no good or something? I only run a protein skimmer and a UV sterilizer. Perhaps you have carbon running?

Thank you for your quick reply!

there is no written rule. it all depends on your bioload, observations of your animals, etc.
i shut off my pumps so the animals can eat as much of the stuff before its skimmed off or drained off to my sump.
