DIY Frozen food auto feeder

[aaron23]

Looking to create something similar. Just wondering if anyone has thought about doing this and if the venturi valve from kent is the best option to dose food into the system.

Also i read that if the pumps are too strong the pressure will be too great for the food to be dosed into the venturi valve, about how much gph can this closed loop handle while still allowing food to flow through the doser?


Thanks guys any input would be appreciated.

Found this. Carnation coral propagation constant plankton diet.

Super cool (literally)... love the flexibility this gives you to feed the tank up to 24 times a day! Would be great for NPS tanks or any system with really needy fish (like anthias).

Love this idea!

Wonder how long the doser will last in a cold humid environment like that.

Great! One more thing I'm gonna have to have. It's only money right?
