2 years ago when I had a damsel only reef I fed maybe 2 or 3 times a week. Once my tank was established after about a year I ditched the damsels and started with tangs, clowns and other reef safe fish and started feeding once a day. Now I have a pair of large square Anthias and a breeder pair of black onyx clowns that require regular feedings of frozen foods...so, I feed twice a day. The feedings are a couple of hours apart, once around 5 or 6 and the second around 9 or 10pm. Lights out at midnight. My refugium is 24 hour lighting.
I also turn off my return pumps when I feed so that all of the food is eaten from the main display. Fish are happy and the skimmate is dark! I rarely had any skimmate before the dual feeding times.
