THE EASY VAPE

No idea but I'm going to tagalong because that thing looks way cool and I'll pick one up too if someone owns up to stocking them! :lol:

have you already tried any of the usual suspects? Golds/Elite/Red Coral/Ocean City/Wai's/Pisces/Big Als/etc.?

.... FWIW, I checked bigalsonline.ca and they do carry it:
http://www.bigalsonline.ca/StoreCata...its=12&offset=

... and the store is usually pretty good about stocking items listed on the website so I'd say there's a good chance they'll have it. Worth a look.

I typed in "Kent Squirt" into the search engine. Although it is totally legit, I still felt a little dirty entering that into a search engine from my work computer.

Oh wait, was that too much information? Uh, never mind.

FYI you won't be able to feed anything larger than say, coral frenzy/reef roids with it, the diameter of the outlet is really tiny. I used mine a half a dozen times and put it in the "useless fish crap" bin.

I had one. Got it to feed mysis to my Sun Corals. I just trimmed a bit off the tip to increase the opening diameter. That did work, but my Filefish were right there eating the mysis, and damaging the Sun Coral polyps at the same time. So, in the end, mine ended up in the "useless fish crap" bin too. I actually just gave it away recently, during my "shutting down / getting out of hobby for awhile" process.

Cheers,

What do you do now? I am looking for something that can help me feed silverside for my anemonies, mysis shrimp or brine shrimp for other LPSs. What is the best tool out there? Any suggestions?

Thanks

A plastic pipette with a length of airline tubing on the end of it should be able to reach anywhere and hold mysis etc no problem.

It works great as a feeding stick but as was stated the hole is to small to liquid feed anything larger than baby brine.

I got a turkey baster at the dollar store and stuck a length of tubing on the end of it. The only problem is the tubing is not perfectly stiff and curves a bit. Sometimes that works in your favour when going around corners though.

I wouldn't say it's useless at all, just cut part of the tip off. I did and can now use it to drop mysis into a dish at the bottom of the tank for seahorses. It is too small for silversides, but still I wouldn't say it is useless.

Yup 100% agree. I even trimmed the end still useless fish crap in my books

I totally agree. I think using a long acrylic rod with good diameter and use turkey baster to put food on the top is best.
