So here's my thought. Corals tend to do well with or without feeding, and we know that feeding can add to the nutrient load in a tank, and we also know that that can lead to algae issues, brown corals, etc. So until you have a lot more experience in managing the nutrients that "may" develop, try not feeding and see how it goes. Your corals won't be harmed by not feeding, so try that for a while...

thats just it , start out with the basics its a solid recipe. before anyone experients with loads of food they should learn the ropes of a reeftank then when the time comes for experimenting theres some knowlege of common things you aquire over time

well said!!
