I've seen a few threads where folks are using the refrigerated / syringe type feeders (I forget the name of them) that feed a slurry continuously over like 24 hrs. Uhuru's NP tank comes to mind.
Anyway - my tank is a softie dominant system with leathers, gorgonians, zoas, and palys. I also like to keep a variety of inverts, especially porcelain crabs and other filter feeding animals.
I use a 10 gallon tank as top-off hooked up to an ATO unit and I evaporate about 2-1/2 gallons per day, so I refill it every 3rd day. I was wondering if I was to add a small amount of Coral Frenzy to my top-off tank and continuously run a powerhead (I have a MJ1200 in there now that I use to circulate the water once a day), if I were to be able to continuously feed the tank (minutely) over the course of a few days. I would obviously need to check parameters often enough to watch for nitrate spikes, etc.
Thoughts?
