How do you target feed

[Edmonton Eskimo]

I just bought some invertebrate target food and am wondering how to properly feed it to them. How do you guys do it?

i just use a turkey baster

don't you find that a little on the big side?

 

[xxmoorishmanxx]

no i like the one i have, and i usually feed larger foods to the inverts, (mixed shrimps, as well as micro stuff)

turkey baster...
Clam and corals get the baster 2-3 times a week...

Theres also 2 squirts of invert food in my blender mush...

Is a syringe sufficient? It is mostly my corals that I am feeding as my anemone does well on his own(with his clown friend to help)

 

[xxmoorishmanxx]

what kind of corals? certain corals need different meatier sized foods

I have a frogspawn,devils hand,gsp,glove polyps,button polyps,xenia and some shrooms all of which are fairly small.

a syringe with the needle removed would be fine for stuff like zooplankton and pytoplankton. I use a clean pipette, because I had a supply new ones from my fertilizer order (I keep planted FW tanks too)

Turkey baster, tweezers.

for the polyps and soft corals you really don't need to feed via target feeding, you can just pour in the phytoplankton, so long you shut off the skimmer for about an hour. Target feeding your LPS isn't a bad idea though...

If you have kids, a lot of prescription medicine comes with little droppers. That is what I use. It is a bit smaller than a turkey baster.

Well I have a syringe that I am using. Question is how much to feed?
