450gal Feeding Video

Feeding Vid currently ....this is the first time I too get to see them feed as most of the time I'm on top of the tank dropping the food in...I messed up the last 5-7mins as I didn't adjust my camera and thus the feeding of the rays was cut out so I shortly the video.

Typical regiment :
1. Switch off all pumps in tank except for sump.
2. Feed top down starting with Aros with MP's
3. Feed Mid level fish (Silver Dollars and Geos) with Cichlid gold sinking pellets
4. Feed bottom fish (Rays/RTC...and you can see SD's stealing some) with Massivore

5. Turn back on all pumps

6. Target feed all Rays with full size MPs and cut up starting with Largest male first and then to the other rays so that the male doesn't bother them during their feeding..

all takes approx. 15-20mins of feeding!....
