    Eheim Auto Feeder Ring WTB

    I am looking to see if anybody has designed a feeding reading for the Eheim auto feeder for a rimless tank. I have one of the magnetic rings now, but it moves around from the flow and I’m looking for something more sleek. If you design this, please let me know. Thank you.

    How Much Should I Feed My Tanks?

    Apologies if this question is a bit elementary in nature, but how much should I be feeding my tanks? I'm worried that in the process of not wanting to overfeeding my tanks, I may be actually underfeeding them instead. Is there a good way to tell when all the tanks inhabitants are content...

    Feeding a large engineer goby

    I bought a foot long engineer goby but I'm struggling with feeding. He doesn't try to eat silversides or small shrimps but does look at them. I feed my tank frozen mysis but feel like little pieces of mysis won't sustain him. He also hides when I approach the tank so spot feeding is pretty...

    Picky clownfish

Any other ideas? pH-8.0, ammonia-0, nitrate-5ppm, nitrite-0. They will eat but not with any gusto. They just pick and spit it out. They’re...

    Clownfish not eating recently

    Hello, I have 2 clownfish. They have been together for about 5 months now. Over the last 4 days, both clowns haven't really eaten, which seems to stem from the female not wanting to eat and the male follows suit. Here's the back story. I have a 55 gallon mixed reef tank. It got ich, so I went...

    What would you do if you were me?

    Curious how all of you would design a food regimen for my tank. I know that there are tons of variables, but assume a perfect world (i.e. nutrient export isn't an issue, home all day, etc). I'm struggling with figuring out how many times to feed, what to feed and when to feed it, how much to...

    I picked up a gorgeous ventralis anthia on Sunday! I realize these are one of the harder fish to keep because of dietary needs (frequent feedings, picky eaters etc). But I’m most certainly going to give it my best to get this guy eating healthy frozen/prepared foods and have it thrive in my...

    Do you feed Frozen food?

    Most of my friends in the hobby almost exclusively feed frozen food in their aquariums with some sprinkles of dry food/ nori strips here and there. What does everyone else do? If you don't feed frozen why not? Is anyone able to exclusively feed live??
