Looking for a feeding solution

jlinderman · 10-27-2006, 11:59 AM

Hello everyone - I just joined the group!

I am seeking a feeding system for my reef tank. I am specifically looking for a system that can store frozen brine shimp and then dose into the tank.

Has anybody seen anything like thi?

Thanks

John

do i smell a diy project?

i know of automatic feeders but keeping the food frozen

that's gonna be a tough one.

that sounds like it would be one expensive feeder.

it would have to be some sort of freezer with a timer to open some kind
of feeding chute. I would think it would be rather large to put over the tank.

also brine shrimp are not very good to feed fish, they contain very little nutriants. a better choice would be to make your own frozen food, or try one of the pre-made ones like formula one or two.

oh, and welcome to Manhattan Reefs
