feeder

[parrotchute]

Anyone know any longer feeders - I'm using one I bought from the LFS, but it sucks up too much air and when I spot feed the corals it spits out bubbles and the corals close up...
Anyone have success with anything? I need something long...

i been wanting to buy one but none of my LFS sell it , i used a turkey baster but its so messy , now i just plop pieces of the frozen cubes in my tank

i just use a large syringe,airline tubing and a shiskabob stick zip tied to it.....and suck up a bit of water before sucking up the food to skip the bubbles

thanks JC, that's actually what inspired me to ask! I was looking at that and decided there's now way I'm spending $25 plus $10 shipping for that.

Good suggestion on the airline tubing and syringe! I'm going to try it - way cheaper!

We have those exact things at the zoo I work at!!!!!!!! I'm going to get one now lol...sweet!

 

[parrotchute]

oooh, I like it. Thanks Brian!

 

[beeguiles]

I like that too. Maybe i will get one

Yea no problem, it's been great so far I was using disposable eye droppers before this but I hated that I always had to put my arm in up to my elbow to feed some things. So far I've been able to feed everything in my tank without getting wet at all

Ok so the ones at the zoo are just the 12" tube and no squeeze thing....could I just cut and stick one of those booger sucker uppers for babies on it? And Brit! I could pick you up one if you'd like?
