Question Automatic flake feeders and water tension

Okay... I know this cannot be a new question to this forum, but here i go...

When using an automatic feeder dispensing flake food, how do you get the flakes to overcome the water tension? My surfacing feeding fish (Clown, Filefish, and a few others) do well, however the Yellow Angel and Blue Tang go absolute, bat$hit crazy trying to eat at the surface! Water everywhere...

I know...first world problems , but I need to take a two week trip that requires an auto feeder (Apex)
