Works great
I have another auto feeder fridge setup on my larger coldwater tank that doses live phytoplankton and tigriopus californicus into the return lines every hour.
The one thing I did decide to improve on in the auto feeder for the pipefish tank was to utilize a venturi for where the food goes into the return line.
That way if the dosing pump line ever comes loose, or I need to do maintenance on the doser, it will just suck air instead of shoot water like the john guest fittings do since they lack a venturi.
Really looking forward to going collecting the next few weekends
As the temperature starts to warm up the seagrass starts to pop up again and the Pipefish start to breed. Also my diver buddy is out as I type this looking for Pacific Spiny Lumpsuckers for me
