Using a Sea Swirl to feed my tank

[segooey]

Several months ago, I stopped thawing frozen food in a cup and using a turkey baster to spread food around the tank. Now I simply drop a frozen cube in the return section of the sump and as it thaws, it sinks and gets sucked in to the return pump. Having a Sea Swirl on my return means this food reaches all corners of the tank. This also works with pellet food.

Pretty cool.
I thought about this before and I'll probably build a small little acrylic box above the pump intake to avoid any food decaying in the sump.
In the main display, I have a box at the waterline under the automatic feeder, the fishes usually eat all before the food gets a chance to sink.

@rickyb My auto-feeder food clumps up too quickly in my canopy, so I moved it to the sump and it worked like a charm. Tried frozen cubes and had the same success. There is enough flow in the return chamber that I have not seen any food linger there.
