Great article on when to feed corals

[HV1990]

Stumbled on this on advanced aquarist website. In a nutshell it talks about how corals do need oxygen to produce their skeleton. Also it shows a correlation between feeding at night when oxygen is less available. In the last paragraph it states that the best way to introduce oxygen is through foam fractionators or in our case protein skimmers. Here is a link to the read.

Interesting that it says feeding at night may slow calcification. Its said feeding during the day maybe more beneficial.

Very interesting article that makes sense, backed by research.
Has any one experimented day feeding in the hobby yet?

I run ozone for 2 hours between 1 to 3am. I am sure my corals are getting plenty of O2 from the ozone and the 2 skimmers that I use, one skimming wet and the other skimming dry. No problem with calcification here.
