Ahh yah! pics!
Also added 2 more seahorses again from GWA and a randifordi goby that I had in my 14g biocube. The acrylic thing in the center is my seahorse feeder that will be automated soon once I get my order from Amazon. I will post some pictures of it in the next post.

Ok here are the pictures of the seahorse feeder. I was pricing arround for companies that make these and ATB makes them but when I asked for a price it was $135 which was way overpriced IMO. So I made my own. The total cost was $22 to build it myself with all the parts cut at Fort Collins Plastics. The only part I had to make my self was the bending of the hitching post rail which only took a heat gun and some patience. And routing the food holes in the 1 1/2 " tube.
.
Here is a list of parts:

1x acrylic rod. Length:5 in. Diameter: 1in
4x acrylic rod length: 3/4 in. Diameter:1/4 in
1x acrylic rod length: 12.5 in Diameter: 1/4 in
1x acrylic tube. Length 3/4 in. Diameter: 3in
1x acrylic tube. Length: 18in. Diameter: 1-1/2 in (Can be different lengths depending the tank it is going in.)
1x acrylic sheet cut into a circle. Diameter: 4 in. Thickness 1/4 in
1x small bottle of acrylic glue.

So basically I will have a dosing pump with defrosted mysis in a minifridge that I am going to drill holes in to pump water in so the dosing pump can dose mysis and keep it cool. Then tank water gets pumped in to the fridge and back out into that acrylic feeder you can see in my tank. And I am just working out the details so that the mysis wont get blown out of the tube. I might drill pressure release valves so the water goes out before the mysis gets blown everywhere. I will have pictures of it later in the week.
