[GSAS-Member] Continuous Feeding?

["Doerr, Jesse" <Jesse.Doerr@fei.com>]

This summer I was lucky enough to spend some time at the National Zoo in
Vienna.  It's a fantastic place with some amazing breeding programs and
a stunning aquatic life center.

They had one exhibit which was an incredibly large reef tank.  (Probably
close to 1 million gallons.)  On it they made a note that the fish were
fed small amounts continuously.  It was cited that feeding this way was
more natural to the fish and helped to reduce/eliminate aggression.  

Has anyone heard of / tried something like this in their home tanks?  I
wonder if an automatic feeder might be a benefit to cichlid colonies?
