Let's Make - a Fish Feeding Station / Floating Plants Trap 647 23

Feeding station / floating plants trap DIY This is my take on fish feeding stations. It also doubles as floating plants trap. Floating plants get rid of ammonium and nitrate. Basically lots of bad stuff in the water are sucked up by the plants. Floating plants are easy to keep because the leaves are out of the water and can get all the co2 they need. Happy 2017!

Hi, can I ask how you culture those mealworms you gave to the betta?

Conradeo - 7 years ago

Thanks！sorry for the late reply

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

I just left them alone. mealworms become beetles. then the beetles lay eggs. and then they hatch. I only fed them wheat meal and potato shaving.

Very cool. I'll have to make a few of these for my tanks. I've been wanting to put duckweed in a tank, but I heard it's like the herpes of fish tanks. You just cant get rid of it once it's in there. This could help create an area for the fish to eat or surface for o2(betta). Very cool super glue. I've never seen a kind with a brush before.

I made mine out of a piece of airline hose a spare airline connector and an old suction cup. All the parts where left overs from other aquarium stuff but to buy all the stuff is very cheap.

Foo shops at Ikea. I have the same glasses and the table is from there too.

Simply genius ! Thank you .

Velocifish - 7 years ago

That tank in the last few seconds of the video was the prettiest and most unique thing I've seen done with duckweed. Really want to try that out myself now. Wonderful video, thank you.

redglazedeyez - 7 years ago

so... how do u use it??? i dont get it.. feeding station ? the food just floats all over ??

BoingBB - 7 years ago

It stops floating food from being distributed all over the tank's surface. The fish soon get used to coming to the feeder at mealtimes!
I sometimes used to use the little ring that holds a live tubifex feeder cone.

lee moore - 7 years ago

Don't know why I even watched this... I don't even have a fish tank or want to get one...

leetlebob - 7 years ago

Ilona Angdjaja - 7 years ago

Damn, this is awesome. I'm gonna make the straw one. Thanks for sharing!

K - 7 years ago

thought the lighter was a lightsaber, ha

edit: so much effort, just the rim of a plastic plant pot is good enough :)

Sarah Allen - 7 years ago

Could one use rigid airline tubing?

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

yea, as long as it floats, I think it'll work.

IceTurf - 7 years ago

Where did you get the acrylic tube?

BoingBB - 7 years ago

I would say that if you have strong filtration, causing a lot of surface movement, the 5mm may actually be better.

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

you can find it on amazon or ebay. 3mm ones are very difficult to find, but 5mm ones will work just fine.

What kind of dremel is that? It's really quiet!

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

is it? I've only owned one dremel so I didn't know it was quiet. it's the model 3000.

Evolution : Machine to Man - 7 years ago

Awesome, bro did you check my deworming flowerhorn video? Give me suggestions.

Evolution : Machine to Man - 7 years ago

Yes i did as I feared the medication might be too strong for the flowerhorn.

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

looks like things went well. did you add food into the mix? you might not need to add food. hope she gets better soon.

Chunk'o What - 7 years ago

This is genius.

James Duran - 7 years ago

i made one using the plastic lid of a burger patty container, was inspired with your duckweed trap in your planted aquarium. never thought you'd do a video on how to make one.

albertlam987 - 7 years ago

love your videos. informative and creative

Where do you get the small diameter acrylic tubing like the 3mm acrylic tube you use in the Walstad tank? I'm having trouble finding any that small...

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

I got them at a big local hobby shop. it isn't a chain. I tried to search google, and you're right, 3mm ones are very difficult to find. but 5mm ones are almost no different in the way it works.

Cam'sJungleAquaria - 7 years ago

Great video

Fefifofum JACOBSON - 7 years ago

What kind of lighter is that? I want one

Foo the Flowerhorn - 7 years ago

it's torch that doubles as a lighter. I forgot what the name is, I bought it many years ago. on the torch, it just says "503torch"
