when feeding, do you switch off the return pump?

to prevent food from going into the sump and stuff, but leave the wavemaker on to circulate the food.

Yep i off..so food dont go to waste and stay in the water colum as long as possible for corals to absorb

Better to off as the skimmer skims out the food..so no wastage..

Depends wht type of feeding

Broadcast? Target?

If target off everything

If broadcast just on the wavemakers

DC return pump will be perfect for this application. I believe they have food timer as well that will resume flow in 10 minutes.

Mine is broadcast feeding of various coral foods in the day, and a large amount of mysis at night.

Overflow??? why? Should have a hole on top to break the siphon or one-way valve installed for safety precaution.
