This all sounds great in theory, or maybe some people have had success, but I don't see how one could feed heavily and skim sporadically and not get algae growth, cyano, and numerous other issues, with rising phosphates and nitrates...
The point is that you are feeding regularly, frequently, but not excessively. You're not just blindly dumping food into the system to decompose. And, of course, water changes are still made. I was a die hard, keep-it-almost-sterile- nutrient-export-junkie for many years, and my corals never looked as good as they did when I relaxed a bit. There is a happy medium where you're adding enough nutrient to benefit corals without growing nuisance algae. A well-managed system that employs nutrient export techniques without being excessive in either direction is not only possible, but relatively easily achieved if you're looking at your animals and not obsessing with your test numbers.
