Feeding Ring

[samyboy]

so i noticed the lfs sells feeding rings for £1.99, floats on the surface of the water floating food is put in the ring this keeps all the food in one area of the tank thus making clean up easyer plus it doesnt get thrown around by the filter, anyway i decided that i wasnt paying 2 quid for something i could probably find lieing around the house.

Equipment

short piece of air line tubing
old air stone connector/small pipe that will fit inside the tubing

connect one end of the air tube to the plastic connector and the same with the other end

float in tank add food

simple as that

oooo I like that idea

Just like all the best ideas -- simple but effective!

Now you just need to find food that you can be sure never sinks!

i did a DIY one of these a few years ago now similer in idea but the tubing went around and then went into the other end. if you follow lol.

anyway my filters just blew it all over the place and the food didn't stay in lol.

i actually use floating cichlid pellets but again filters would just blow it around

or just get a lid off an old AQUARIAN or KingBritish style food tub and cut a hole in the top.. work even better lol

 

[soggysandwich]

you could get some suction cups like these and attach it to the ring so it would stay in one place

that would mean spending money good idea though
