FAQs
Can I use this for floating fish food?
No, this product is designed exclusively for sinking foods. Floating food will not travel down the tube.
What is the total length of the tube?
The tube measures 300 mm (30 cm) in depth.
Will this work with sand substrate?
Yes, placing the glass dish on the sand provides a stable surface for the food to land on.
How do I clean the glass?
Use warm water and a soft cloth to wipe down the glass. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can be toxic to fish.
Can the dish be placed anywhere?
The dish should be placed directly under the outlet of the tube to ensure the food lands inside it.
Troubleshooting
Suction cups losing grip
Clean both the suction cup and the aquarium glass thoroughly to remove algae and debris before reattaching.
Food getting stuck in the tube
Ensure that the food being used is specifically designed for sinking and is not too large for the diameter of the tube.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, attach the feeding tube to the interior glass of your aquarium using the included suction cups. Ensure the top funnel is positioned just above the water line for easy access. Place the glass feeding dish on the substrate directly under the tube outlet. For care, gently remove the tube and dish periodically to rinse them in clean, dechlorinated water to remove biofilm or algae buildup. Avoid using abrasive sponges that might scratch the glass surface.
