Continuous "natural" feeding

[jnarowe]

very interesting setups. a lot of experimentation I will follow.

I see three issues with the method and one in the claims the article makes:

1)their nutrient levels actually dropped....right here I became extremely skeptical

2)if you used a peristalic pump and put the food in the bucket you would have to have something stir it..kind of like a kalk reactor or it would all settle to the bottom of the container

3)food spoiling

Just my thoughts...it makes great points however I saw alot of ridiculous claims in the writeup. IE...fish aggression differing in a closed system from nature is not due to feeding but due to size constraints and the whole less nutrients BS.

Also, if you look closely at alot of the corals you notice many are unhealthy despite the claims they make in the paper. Look at the tri color in the last picture of the article...half of its dead.

you don't think one of the three colors in a Tri-Color is white?? :lol:

Nevermind the anemone that doesn't look too hot either.

that's pretty trick. I like the idea, but I am not sure I would maintain it correctly.
