got tired of overflow eating most of my flakes

so i made a plastic thing that barely touches the top of the water and the food cant float into the over flow box

 

well done! lookin good...K+

 

Or you could soak the flake beforehand so it sinks Just make sure you take that off while your not feeding, as surface skimming down to your equipment is VERY important.

 

nice! We just soak ours when we feed flakes.

+1 for your ingenuity!

 

thanks guys

 

spirulina pellets is the way to go. they sink.

 

yea pellets would lol but y change the food? thats to easy lol

 

Yeah I have that same issue, but it really makes me mad when it sucks in the frozen food. I will have to try something like that.;D

 

it helps alot lol

 

it's best to take a pinch in your fingers and rub them together under the water, this makes the flakes float under the surface and keeps the fish from gulping air when they eat it...read that on the web somewhere and sounded reasonable. I turn the pump off to feed, just don't forget to turn it back on : .
