Hi,

I have a marine tank with a lot of eels and some bottom feeders as well (scorpions, lion fish etc).
Due to the height of my tank (2.5 feet plus 3 feet base) I have to stand on a standard ikea stool to feed them while looking down at the tank.

Looking for ideas to design a custom feeding apparatus/tongs so that I can enjoy feeding my predators while sitting down?

1 ich pvc pipe cut to the length you want. All you have to do is find the fish and drop the food down the pvc pipe.
They will learn that when they see the pipe food is coming the fish will start to come to the tube when they see it in the tank

use a air blower connected to some pvc and shoot the food inside the tank while
you stuff and shoot the pvc from the coach! LOL. its the good ole pneumatic tube
style or capsule pipelines lol haha. if not this method a super long metal skewer.
just skewer all the food on it and slide em all off to drop em into the tank. or if you
dont mind getting ur hand/arm wet you can purchase a large aquascaping tweezer.
i have one thats about 20" long used to aquascape and plant live plants in my larger
tanks and doubles as a feeding tong for fish i need to hand feed and etc.
