Feeding Corals

[Phang]

Hi All,

Was paying attention to previous thread on feeding

Corals...

http://www.sgreefclub.com/forums/index.php...6d5b99cbce336b8

So thought of something that would help...

(my contribution to the DIY section)

Materials...

1) One thin plastic rod...(about 1 metre)

2) Flexible air hose tubing....(1 metre)

3) a Syringe...

[Phang]

Step 1 :

Take one end of the plastic tubing and silicon it to 1 end of the thin plastic rod....

Like this ......

[Phang]

Step 2

Take the other end of the flexible tubing and fit it over the opening of the plastic syringe....

Like this :

[Phang]

Now you can prepare your favourite coral cocktail...

Insert the inlet/outlet end into the cocktail, and extend the syringe, filling up the tube.....

Like This :

[Phang]

Place the outlet into the tank, targeting the specific coral you intend to feed.....

[Phang]

And....

Your corals get food delivered to its doorstep....

Home delivery Style.........

[Phang]

Especially useful when feeding Sun Corals without taking them out of your tanks, getting your hands wet or chasing your fishes away so that the corals could feed....

Also effectively in channelling food to hard to reach places....

and also to fishes who hide a lot.... first timers in your reef.....

Please do comment...

Instead of the straw, i use the plastic tubing that comes with the ballons that given out by McDonalds, Shopping centres and at parties. It is also a rod to ask my 1 1/2 boy to behave. It works wonderfully both ways!

Very nice presentation!

This will work without switching off pump.

Great post, Phang!

Bluebeard - those syringes come with test kits!

[BarraCudaTM]

you can buy syringes at NTUC healthcare or pharmacy but I dont think you can buy the needle

[Bluebeard]

I have thinking and trying to feed my Sun Coral and your method seems the most effective, not to mention, cheapest!

AT really did a excellent job in gathering us all together.....
