feeding equipment - you use what?

[mattgreene22]

What does everyone use to feed their LPS? I've been using a turkey baster in my 10g, but I'm moving to a deeper tank. I thought the turkey baster was hard in my 10g (mysis falling out before I wanted), and now it looks like I'm going to have to put my hand in the tank to get the baster low enough.

What are the tools and methods that others here use?

Use a small syringe and stick some tubing on the end. Works perfect though you can't deliver a large amount and you cannot deliver larger items a la silversides/whole krill.

My hands. All my LPS are larger and have much larger mouths, so it is easier to handle food this way for me.

I feed them nothing. If they happen to grab something while I am feeding the tank fine, but other that that they just take the light in...

Kent Sea Squirt and I use gloves when I put my hands in.

GMGQ, do you have trouble with the Sea Squirt leaking as you move from the food container to the tank??

 

[GMGQ]

A little bit. Not as bad as with a turkey baster. But I suck up the mysis from this cup thing above the tank anyways, so it's not too bad when it drips. The trick is to hold it so the tip is slightly upwards I guess.

Anyone got a decent pic of the Sea Squirt? The one on Marine Depot is kinda small.

It's basically a really long and narrow turkey baster.
