Feeding Question

[chadg]

So, I would really like to setup a sea horse tank. I think I have it figured out enough to get started, but I thought of one aspect yesterday. Feeding.
From what I'm understanding they need to be feed pretty regularly twice a day. My work schedule has me leave the house at 6am and not return until 6pm. So, I don't think I could feed them in the morning. I know my fish are still sleeping...
Is there any way to feed them automatically? What if I had enough pods in the tank? What do others do? I can't be the only working person around here that has sea horses?
Thanks.

I have my seahorse tank lights on a timer - they come on at 6:30am, I feed at 7am and walk out the door. I get home between 6pm-7pm, feed again and lights go out at 9pm.

Thanks Tom. I guess I could wake them up at 5:30 every morning... I just feel bad making them get up that early!

The only thing then would be weekends.... I'm not getting up at 6am on a Saturday just to feed them! Would they adjust to a changing schedule? I've heard it is best to get them pretty regular.
Do they really need to be fed twice a day? Is there anyway to put some kind of timer on food? Any way to put a shrimp hatcher that dumps them in a certin time? Hummm....
