SuncrestReef Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 On the rare occasions when I need to use my Neptune autofeeder, much of the food ends up floating into the overflow and just gets caught in the filter socks. I'd like to modify my feeder to add a feeding ring like this, but the vendor that makes it says they're out of stock and no ETA for building more. Does anyone know where to get something similar to this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Something like this maybe? https://www.marinedepot.com/Innovative_Marine_AUQA_Gadget_Gourmet_Defroster_Fish_Food_Clips_Feeding_Stations-Innovative_Marine-0I05093-FIFDFECF-vi.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 That looks incredibly easy to make, I bet you could DIY it with plastic from TAP. They can even cut to size if you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuncrestReef Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 I just came up with this, using a small plastic food container: I can just clamp it between the feeder bracket and the tank glass. This will get me by for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm me Thanks for the offer, but I think I’m set. I only use the autofeeder occasionally, like this weekend for a quick trip to the coast. My little DIY feeder ring will be fine: Edited April 6, 2019 by SuncrestReef 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salted_Waffles Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Quick easy fix. Like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 I also set up a web cam to remotely keep an eye on things while away for the weekend. I'm using a Zmodo Sight 180 C camera which has a 180 degree field of view. I'm able to see water levels in my sump, the skimmer, skimmate locker, refugium, and the tank. Pretty handy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
