although i am capable of numerous daily feedings by hand i decided to do an diy autofeeder for the corals. the diy feeder is a large media reactor with the guts hauled out and a maxi jet trimmed down to fit inside the chamber , the maxijet feeds the tank from the chamber and is controlled via a valve for a consistant drip.
i have been able to set the drip as low as 1 drip every 7sec , i am entertaing the idea now to " t " off the maxi jet to keep the food stirred up or figure out something else.
the reactor will be drained daily and rinsed as part of my maintanance.
here she is:P
reactor still in working condition....such a shame lol
next i hauled out the guts and media items
now of course when i first went to fit a maxi jet inside the chamber this was the result:
so i hauled out the cutter:
and trimmed some weight off it so it fit snug and the input didnt get restricted once inside.
fits like a glove
ok so then had to plumb the maxi jet to the output of the reactor
ran the cord out the output of the reactor
the reactir will drip food into a powerhead pointed down from the top of the tank.so far its doing well in its trial runs , we will see once livestock gets added how well it feeds then:P
