I originally used a syringe with a piece of ro tubing. Suck it up, squirt it out. Eventually the plunger died on the syringe so I took it out and just pour the mixture into the top with the tubing aimed where I want. It's so much better, I'll never do it differently again.

X2 on this. Tubing connected to a syringe that I can use to spot feed.

I feed weekly (sometimes bi-weekly). Will feed my tank their frozen food with all pumps/skimmer off, spot feed corals at the same time (do this while feeding so my shrimp doesn't try to steal the reef roids), then do a water change afterwards.
 
This is what I use. Absolutely love the control by using the thumb wheel.

Same here, thing is also great for chasing off the cleaner shrimp when they subsequently try to use your corals as a vending machine. I usually try to squirt some reef roid slurry into a spot in the sand as a sacrifice to keep them busy while my LPS are taking the food in.
