    Any cup of tank water will work fine for melting the food in. You can even use a water bottle so you can seal the top and feed it through out a longer period of time. Sometimes I will melt about ten frozen cubes of different variety's in a water bottle and keep it in the fridge feeding a little at a time.

    Both really, but only LPS or non photosynthetic corals will eat it, and they need to be target fed.

    Same as said above. Melt in a small glass of tank water, then squirt it in.

    A lot of people recommend thawing in tank water and then discarding all the liquid which can contain a lot of extra nutrients that don't get used in the tank. This is what I do.
