So I turned off all the flow and fed the corals. How long should I wait before turning the flow back on? When I did turn everything back on the reefroids started blowing around the tank in clumps?

You should have dissolved the reef roids in water prior to feeding. What made it clump up like that? I personally wait 10 minutes before turning my power heads back on after feeding, and have never seen clumps.

I did mix it with water. Maybe not enough ? Now I have masses of it floating around the tank

Wow that’s pretty interesting, I’ve never seen that happen before. Almost looks like they’re caught in hermetic snail webs from that picture. I mix mine up with enough water so that it’s completely watery, dump some in the tank so my corals get ready to eat, and then start to target feed about 10 minutes later.
