Who has one? And what is the best ones to use? I want to put dry food in there for morning feedings while im at work and then I will feed them the good stuff at night when I get home. So what is the best? ------------- Next meeting: |

I only feed once/day at most and usually it works out to 5-6 times per week. Just use the good stuff and forget the crummy dry foods. The tank should actually have algae and bugs growing in it to feed the fish all the rest of the time. Reef Aquariums are much different than freshwater, because they grow their own food if allowed to.  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

I think Burt uses one because he travels a lot for work. You could ask him.

I use the Ehiem auto feeder (got it from Fish-4-U). Works great and is not too expensive. ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |
