Why Turn Off Pumps During Feeding?

in my opinion, because they either have non photosynthetic corals, and no matter what you read we cannot sustain enough natural food in the water colume, or in the case of normal corals, they simpliy do not have enough light for them to make there own food. I only gave my brain a treat once and a while and I stopped all togeather for the last 3 years.

I turn my mp40 to feeding mode so that my pipefish and mandarins get a fair shot of the food as they are slow as fook.

I have to get up on a ladder to get in the top of my new tank. *sigh* no non-photosynthetic-target-feeding-required-corals for me in this build me thinks.

On the plus side, I'll be less inclined to spend gratuitously excessive hours hand feeding my LPS's every night. I'm sure they threw up most of what I used to over feed them anyway, and I sure would have had far more productive evenings of school work as I finished my last degree.
