Feeding with less mess.

Made this little rig up to feed the tank mates and is working great. Also good for the fish and shrimp. I place the frozen cubes in it like Formula 2, Marine Cuisine), Nori sheets and raw shrimp.
Makes the critters work for their food and lessens the stuff floating around.

would you mind sharring your methods on how you built this rig?

I guess I should. I just used "Vent Screening", you get from Lowe's or Home Depot. It's used to block vents and such from birds, leaves, bugs...etc.
Made of fiberglass and basically just cut a 6" X 4" section. Or, whatever size you desire. Once cut, simply folded it in half and super glued the other two sides. Doing this, 3 of the 4 sides are joined and the other side is open. Kind of like a pouch. Place the food in the pouch and insert into a veggie clip.

Works great and only took a few minutes. Spent more time trying to get the super glue off my fingers.
Enjoy

is fiberglass cool to put in the tank for long persiods of time along with super glue?

If you do a "Super Glue" search on these forums. You will see that certain types are and can be bought at lowes or any local
