I have coralific delite coral food. Can I mix it with AB+ and make it watery and pour it in the tank? If so what ratio? Also, how long would you leave return pump off for to let corals eat it?

I wouldn't. Feeding corals can be very tricky due to species specific responses - what is beneficial for one coral is detrimental to another. Here's sone research if you'r einterested in learning more about the results of different feeding regimens.

Comparing the capacity of five different dietary treatments to optimise growth and nutritional composition in two scleractinian corals

Developing an optimal heterotrophic feeding regime has the potential to improve captive coral growth and health. This study evaluated the efficacy of three exogenous diets: Artemia nauplii (ART), a commercially available coral diet (Reef Roids) (RR), and a novel, micro-bound diet (ATF), against...

Effect of natural zooplankton feeding on the tissue and skeletal growth of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata - Coral Reefs

Laboratory experiments were designed to estimate the ingestion rates of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata under varying prey concentrations and feeding regimes and to assess the effect of feeding on the tissue and skeletal growth. Six sets of corals were incubated under two light (80...
