Modular Shrimp & Fish Feeder: The "No-Mess" Solution
Keep your substrate pristine and your floating plants organized with this fully 3D-printable, modular feeding station. This system combines a floating feeding ring for surface eaters and a targeted feeding tube for shrimp and bottom-dwellers, ensuring that food stays exactly where you want it.
The translucent design keeps the focus on your aquascape, not the equipment.
Features
- Adjustable Height: The system features a telescoping modular design. Whether you have a shallow 5-gallon nano tank or a deep 20-gallon "high," you can mix and match the tube sections to reach the perfect depth.
- Integrated Feeding Dish: Includes a base dish with a suction cup mount to prevent pellets from disappearing into the gravel or soil.
- Floating Surface Ring: A dedicated ring keeps flakes and floating pellets contained, preventing them from being pulled into the filter or lost among surface plants like duckweed.
- Easy-Aim Funnel: The wide-mouth top makes it easy to drop in food without the mess.
- Standardized Mounts: Designed to fit standard aquarium suction cups for a secure fit.
Customizing for Your Tank
- Nano Setup: Use the short tube + funnel for shallow tanks.
- Standard Setup: Combine two medium segments for most 10–15 gallon tanks.
- Deep Setup: Stack all three segments to reach the bottom of 20"+ tall tanks.
