It is my understanding that you can soak your food in it everytime if you like or as much as the fish or you can stand it.
Just remember that it does not cure ick so if there is a problem with the fish now then you need to look for other methods of curing them.

I would not recommend daily. After having an ick outbreak in my reef I was using garlic daily for a few weeks and definately noticed that it appearred to be causing an increase in the amount of algae that was growing in the tank. Particularly hair algae which went away once I stopped using it even though I was feeding the same amount, with the same frequency, and the same light bulbs. Reducingthe garlic definiately led to a reduction in algae.
