Adding supplements

When is it the best time to add supplements or feed your corals. And does it matter where you dump the supplements meaning do you put it directly in your tank or in your sump?

Most supplements should be added to a high flow area such as the sump. I add my 2-part about an hour before the lights come on to help prevent wide swings in the water parameters. As for feeding the corals I personally find it to be more beneficial to feed about an hour after the lights go out, when most corals feeding polyps are extended.
