I was wondering if anyone has tried to utilize a drip system with BBS to feed your babies all day while your at work. I have two 29 gallon tanks, 1 with 24 baby angels and 20 baby discus that are all about 3 weeks old and the other tank with about 60 2.5 week old discus fry. I can't go home during lunch to feed and check on them so I thought that I could make some sort of drip system with a 2 liter soda bottle and some airline tubing. I could adjust it so that it would continuously drip in the takes over a six hour period and do a water change as soon as I got home. Has anyone tried this type of thing before and if you have did it work for you. I know the BBS get nutitionally deficient with age but I thought that at least they would have something to eat during the day plus the shrimp would be in colder water that I use to hatch them. I think I would also dilute the salt water with half fresh tap so that the rearing tank doesn't get to much salt in it. I also have thought about not hatching the brine shrimp and using decapsulated eggs instead. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening to me ramble.
