NEED OPINION on PROPER FEEDING (How much, and how to Feed?)

I read a few places that folks that fed their fish wrong, and had problems. (ie Cyano, Algae, etc)

I don't know how much to feed since fish are always hungry.

The other thing is my fish have learned to chase food.
If I stop the water and feed thru feeder, they stared dazed, waiting for the food to run away.

I have a feeling that Feeding under High Circulation scatters the food.
And that leads to rot.
I no longer want a large CUC since they keep dying or getting too big (crabs).

I feed flakes twice a day, and Rinsed Frozen Brine at night.

(( WHAT IS weird, and baffling is in my 90 Gallon Kitchen Tank, I feed twice as much and no issue. I think they KEY is low Lighting in that Tank, vs High for this SPS tank ))

I DO HAVE A PROGRAMMED APEX BUTTON that will stop all circulation except return for X-Minutes.
I guess I should use it and let fish learn to come to feeder and pick out the food (instead of the fun chase).

Correct?
