how many times should i feed my corals a week? right now for food i have marine snow,cyclopeeze, and zooplex
should i feed them with the white light on or only when the blue light is on?

The short quick answer, as many times as your system can handle without nutrients becoming a problem.

As has been stated before, be careful when you start feeding your corals. Alot of the foods are really nutrient rich, and can cause problems in your system.
I have read where a guy never fed his corals, just cleaned his glass twice a week. Just a thought.
