    I need to feed my sun coral, and it is very difficult to target feed with out turning off the pump. I need some kind of cover that I can siphon the food down thru. any suggestions?:confused:

    +1. I did the same thing. also super glued some rubble to the sides to weight it down. works perfectly.

    I thought of that but, my tank is high, and I'd really like to add some tubeing to put the food thru. Bottle tops are bigger than tubeing and I dont know if I can put cork in the tank.

    I just leave everything running when I feed without using the 2 liter soda topper. I feed frozen cubed krill with a baster and it sticks like glue to the polyps when there extended.

    That is a great idea gluing rubble to the dome, the reason I never used the one I made was because it wouldn't stay put.
