The feeder is positioned right near a powerhead, so it blows the flake food across the tank. I have tested it and I am pretty comportable with it's use.
There is the danger of food getting sucked right out of the tank and into the sump, and increasing nutrients in this way. But what I was thinking was that you will now be feeding more; more in means more out; more out means more nutrients. We all have different philosophies about how often to feed. Some successful reef keepers feed every other day, some feed a couple times each day. I personally believe that far more fish die form the effects of overfeeding than from starvation.
