Here is a pretty quick put together of my 180 gal tank feeding time(1 of 2 or 3 times a day) The pvc feeding tube is 1" id:WHOA:

Black Arowana, Silver Arowana, 12 clown loaches, Endlicheri Bichir, Ornate Bichir, Royal Clown Knife, Datnoid, Redtail Gaint Gourami and a tigrinus catfish will be joining the tank once he put another inch or two on:drool:

Enjoy the vid:popcorn:

It allows us to thaw blood worms and small frozen food in the aquarium water. Then the thawed food sinks to the bottom of the tube so the bottom feeders such as the smaller loaches can feed. :headbang2

W/O the food blowing around the tank, prevents aggressive mid water feeders from eating all the food before it hits the bottom and the food getting sucked into your filters prematurely...

Basically your target feeding the smaller fish as the larger ones cannot get their heads into the tube opening.:popcorn:
 
very awesome idea on the feeding tube....I may have to do that for my tank....

Yea it works fairly well, one note don't forget it in the tank. One day I left it in too long I had a whole tube of loaches I had to evict...:ROFL:
