Auto feeder in sump?

[soapy]

My perfect setup would have a frag tank or refuge in the fish room above the level of the display and the overflow would feed downhill into the display. So you would just feed the frags or the overflow and it would just flow out into the display. One pump to move water through two tanks. In the Frag tank you could have a big powerhead on a switch to blast the tank clear of debris after feed time.

I have my auto feeder drop pellets into my return section of my sump. Love it, the food ends up coming out in 8 different directions in the tank. Haven't seen a nipped fin since. Whenever I hand feed, my tusk fish and yellow tang flare up at each other. Even if I disperse from several spots. The pump catches them off guard, and mixes the two types of pellets well. Wouldn't change it.

Sounds like a great setup.

So far happy with the setup. I have a basement sump setup, with a reeflo hammerhead dialed back with a gate valve. The plumbing is 1 1/2" pvc that becomes a manifold in the canopy of four 3/4" pvc pipes, each with their own ball valve followed with "T"ed loc line. Hoping to put together a tank build this February, will attach some pictures
