I'm talkin about those things that people have in their tank so all the food stays inside the ring and the fish come eat out of it. So food doesn't get sucked up into the filter and what not. We just made one and it seems to work pretty well if there is any left over waste, (floating waste anyways) but it is kind of an eye sore. Just trying to figure out if anyone uses them. I think I am going to do away with mine. I could see it would be really helpful with a pond though, that you can't really remove extra food easily.
Food ring? Who uses them?

I used to use them, then I use to turn off filters....I put gutter gaurd around my overflow boxes. problem solved
the only time id use a feeding ring is when i feed live black worms through a net for smaller fish
nope, i figure if a slight amount of extra bio is gonna make or break my tank.. I need to refigure my filter, feed less, or get smaller fish.
I made mine from 3" ABS. It hangs about 1/4" into the water and is only visible if you get down below tank level and look up, otherwise it is hidden by the trim/hood.
I have noticed a lot less flake going down the overflows since I started using it, I wish I would have thought of it sooner!
