what is the best way to feed your corals without feeding the hair algae ?

Best way to feed is feeding directly. If you have some corals that need to eat target feeding is the best way. I turn off the pump sometimes too if the food blown away. All of your corals probably don't need to be fed directly or by just regular feeding. What corals are you interested in feeding?

i feed using cyclop eeze. just turn off pumps. feed slowly as the fish eats it, let the scavangers get some on the bottom, then t urn pump back on.

I feed phyto in addition to the brine and mysis. It gets skimmed out before any issue though

I tend to rely on the lights. Maybe a "storm" of food the day before I do a water change. Once in awhile.
