SHOULD I DOSE OR FEED MY TANK & CORALS WITH LIGHTS ON OR CAN IT BE DONE WITH LIGHTS OFF?
DOES IT MATTER AT ALL?

Most LPS send sweeper tentacles out at or just after lights out. Most soft corals close up at lights out. I turn my skimmer off at night and feed just before lights out and everything seems happy.

I would do it at night. Sweepers on lps are typically out all day in my tank, but at night they will go into Super tentacle mode. Sps is a for sure at night.

I wouldn't dose feed my tank unless there are corals that need it.Spot feeding on the other hand should be done depending on the corals.For example,blastos,trachies and lobos I feed during the day.Scolys and some of my acans get fed at night.I only feed them twice a week to cut down on nutrients.
