Thats what it is Mike.
Keeps the food in place so all the polyps get some food.

So:
(1) just cut the bottom off
(2) clean bottle
(3) remove lid to let in water
(4) use turkey baster to insert food
(5) screw on cap and let pods chow down

about right?

Also how long for the food exposure?

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Yep that's about it Mik. Freak told me to try using the soda bottle to make sure the flowerpot gets enough food. I left the bottle on it for about 15 minutes. Enough time until I could see that most of the polyps had grabbed on to some cyclopeeze. Thanks Freak!

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

ARRRRRGHHHHH! There MUST be some sort of goby suicide pact going down! Tard, the new diamond goby, plummeted to his death last night! Again, hopped through the eggcrate. I am sooooo done with those stupid fish! In fact, I am so done with them, that I am asking any of you out there with a diamond goby to catch it and throw it on the floor in front of your tank. It's not like they're not planning on doing that themselves sometime soon anyways! What a useless species.

Two freakin diamond gobies in two days. Tard and Retard, RIP.
