Butterflyfish Feeding Station

Went to Waba Grill for lunch and picked up these shallow sauce cups w/ lids. Melted holes all over including the lid. Placed a spare suction cup in the lid and stuck it to the glass of my 100 gallon fowlr tank. I put clam meat chunks in the cup and snap it to the lid. The fish go nuts for it.

That is beyond awesome! I think a magnet would be even better. so stealing your idea!

This looks great, such a simple solution. Did you glue the magnet to the container or is it just holding it in there now?

I tried the magnet...wasn't strong enough...or need a bigger badder magnet, but then the cost goes up.

I tried the magnet, but it wasn't strong enough. The flies just tore the cup off the glass. The suction cup works great. I just melted a hole in the lid just big enough to stick the back of the suction cup nipple through.
