SRC Member albinosage Posted June 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 18, 2010 I suggest using the same method as raydiative shows.. http://www.sgreefclu...showtopic=89518 But dun do it quite often.. will contaminate yr water quality easily.. because i read somewhere in this forum sgreef, mentioned by bros, in the long term, it will contaminate the water... something like this... but seriously.. what would contaminate the water?? :chair: (one for each of you haha) CFOh said "dun do it quite often", I think he means don't target feed like that too often(?)!!!! I don't see why a syringe will contaminate the water. Quote My 1.5ft nano cube My 24G nano tank (Decommed) I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

wilsontantw Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Bro kks. Do u need a spare sea squirt? I have 1 that I'm not using anymore as I found a cheaper alternative using Ray's balloon stick. But frankly I do not recommend it, but willing buyer/willing seller. $20 only. Nego. too... Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

No yet but liquid supplements should be in liquid form right? anyway, i will try it out and comment further .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member comycus Posted June 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 18, 2010 No yet but liquid supplements should be in liquid form right? anyway, i will try it out and comment further .. I asked only coz liquid food/supplements are normally just dosed into the tank in a high flow area for wavemaker to distribute to all areas of the tank. We normally only squirt more meaty foods (Like Mysis, Henry's etc.) for LPS and NPS corals to target feed them. Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member desideria Posted June 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 18, 2010 you don't need any special implement to dose supplements, just throw it in. the instructions will tell you how much, usually in high flow area to let it disperse around the tank, some they will recommend to put in sump instead of directly into the tank. And by liquid supplements I am assuming you meant liquid Magnesium or carbonate additives etc? Or are you talking about rotifers and coral food? For food, I just throw in and let the wavemakers do their job. The only time you need a syringe is for target feeding of mysis/brine/frozen foods to certain corals..
