Feeding Stations?

[Bustmonkey]

I keep reading about feeding stations and I was wondering: If your horse is alredy eating frozen food then do you need to set one up or is it only for horses that don't eat frozen yet?

The main idea behind a feeding station is to keep the food in one location as opposed to the food blowing around the tank. Doing this allows you to monitor each seahorses food intank as well as keeping food from getting lodged throughout the tank and rotting away thus deteriorating water quality.

Quite often you can catch illnesses quickly (such as a weak 'snick', not eating, etc) just by observing your seahorses gathering around the feeding station and noticing one of them is acting differently than usual during feeding time.

So what are some ways to set up a feeding station? How are they trained to come to it?
