Turning powerheads for feeding?

[Scatcat]

I just wanted to see what everyone else did for this. Do you turn your powerheads off when you feed? The LFS told me to turn my powerheads off for 30 minutes when I feed but I'm so scared that I'm going to forget to turn them off.

Ask yourself... Does nature turn their powerheads (currents) off??????

That's the only way to get even distribution of your foods. What would the immobile creatures eat if the food didn't come to them in the current? If anything you might turn off the filters but I don't even do that.

Good point.

yeah, if i turned off my powerheads my Yellow watchman would never eat. He waits for the food to float by, pops out and retreats back to his borrow.
