Just wanna ask the bros here who keep NPS sea fan, sponges etc

it is time consuming to target feed manually.

do any of you feed mixtures of NPS food by using dosing pump etc? can share how you do it?

Doing auto feeding requires the consideration of water flow directions. Cos u dose at the surface and wait for it to sink into the water. If your flow is strong, all yr food will be blown away, leaving little chance/enough food to reach the polyps of the nps. I've tried 2 ways to do auto feeding but I prefer using a dosing pump. Just mix the food together but as these food will settle at the bottom on the container, u need to diy a stirrer.
