January 2017 Tank Of The Month (slief)
- Thread starter Misled
- Start date
I hear that! Been on a mission to de-hairy mushroom my tank. Talk about invasive! Just don't put them in the garbage can ...... brings new meaning to the 'smell of death'. Fortunately many of mine had settled on removable rocks, so got rid of them outside. Pheeeeweeee.

@slief Can you share a little bit about your automatic frozen food feeder? I have a couple ideas using a mini-freezer and some linear actuators but would love to see what others have come up with too.

Thank you very much and thank you for this opportunity!Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your tank with us
I have to thawed frozen feeders on my system.
One I use for coral food and one for baby mysis. The coral food feeder uses a GHL Doser 2 and the baby mysis feeder uses an Apex Dos. Here are a couple videos showing them.
First is the GHL Doser 2 based feeder. Because of the small diameter of the tubing on the Doser 2, you have to be careful about the food you put in it. In my case, coral food and cyclops is what I use in this in addition to being able to dose or feed other stuff if needed or desired. This is also controlled through my Profilux but can be setup as a standalone device without a controller. This one is setup on my frag tank and I use it to feed fish that are in observation in the frag tank and also add some supplemental coral feeding there since this tank is fed from my return pump and doesn't get the benefit of the regular heavy fish feedings that my main display gets.

Next up is the Apex Dos. This has larger diameter tubing and I use it for baby mysis. This one is on the main display and is used for supplemental feedings for the fish.

Congrats, Scott! Your reef has always been one of my favorites. I look forward to seeing more pics now that you have a real camera.

Congrats, well deserved. It's members like you that keep us all interested.
I have not been around this forum that long but the few threads that I have read I have seen you post on many times. Often with very good advice. The reason that I know this is because of your avatar under your name, I have seen so many times. Now watching your videos about frozen food dosing I can see where that pic came from.
Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks again for the kind words guys! It's very humbling and very much appreciated!
I use it for thawed baby mysis. I typically use the Hikari Mysis cubes and
add some Hikari Spirulina Brine cubes to the mix from time to time. I only put 3 cubes in at a time which is 3 days worth after which I clean and refill the jar. This runs once a day at 1PM and is used for supplemental feeding only. It helps keep fish such as my anthias well fed while I am not home during the day. I use this in conjunction with my AFS which feeds NLS and PE Pellets once a day too for more supplmental feeding. At night I do a big hand feeding.

Hey Scott. It was good working with you through this. I do think it turned out pretty good. I'm glad I was able to get to know you and talk to you while getting this together. Sorry you got involved in another expensive hobby, but it's nice having you over in the photog forum. Kudos and congrats on the beautiful tank and the TOTM for January 2017.
