Do any of you have tips on using autofeeders? Particularly the Eheim with the feeding ring attachment. Right now I have 3 dispar anthias and 2 clownfish in my tank. I feed 4 times a day, a luxury granted to me from being at home. But I know this is not sustainable. I always turn off my main powerheads. Right now the fish get fed frozen (1/6 cube of frozen whatever plus some canalus) and 3 pellet feedings (large 1mm pellets in afternoon, and twice 0.5 mm pellets in the evening). The main issue is that the clownfish are much more aggressive eaters and will consume approximately 2x 3x as much as the anthias in any of the feedings. Moreover, one of the three anthias usually gets 1/3 the amount of food as the other two. I can control how many pellets I feed at a given time and literally none of them hit the tank bottom because they are all eaten. But I don't know if the autofeeder can do the same.
Are there any suggestions on making the transition?
