Biota Mandarin feeding

I integrate Cyclops with the pellets
 
can you post a picture of your auto feeder and controller setup? planning a trip for 2 weeks and need to setup an auto feeder. does your auto feed just drop the pellets on the surface or on the bottom? Got my mandarin pair 6 months ago and I been using a pipettes to put the food inside a seashell for them. I don't think my would eat from the surface so need to find a way to pump food to the bottom

It's just a Hydros feeder controlled by Hydros Controller. I did have to alter the holes to be smaller to regulate the amount of food.

I bought a pair back in October, tiny little things.

They only eat TDO X-Small pellets. I tried the small size but they still prefer the X-small one's instead.

Gorgeous - thats good to know! Keeping these guys plus all the other fish and coral fed and happy while maintaining nitrates is no easy feat. Ive come to accept that I may just need to deal with 30ppm being my tank’s normal. I skim, do weekly changes and rinse the sock daily.
