Bottle Feed Sun Polyp Question..

[NemoReefer]

Hello,

I'm going to use a soda bottle to feed my polyp in the tank. But I noticed there are a lot of glue on the bottle. The manufacture used the clue to attach the label to the bottle.

I figure the glue considered chemical and I should remove it before use the bottle for feeding. I've tried to use dish washer detergent to remove the glue, but no luck.

How can I remove all the glues on the bottle?

anyone? Thanks

I am betting that any chemical used to remove the glue will be more harmful then the cured glue itself.

Just wash with a lot of water, or soak for a some time in the bucket or bowl and then - under running water.

Depenfing on the size of bottle, they should be relatively cheap - from 4 per dollar in dollar store to $1 for a big one in the food supermarket. You can find with the label, located lower. I don't think, that glue will be harmful, and the only efficient remover that I know, is Goo Off, is pretty nasty - I wouldn't use it for a tank objetcs.

just wondering why you are using a bottle to feed your polyp..??

As I understard, it's quite a piece: vertically oriented oblong shape, with over 50 mouthes, that really need feeding. The photo is in another recent thread by the same author. Glorious - worth the troubles.

Its best to use a Turky Baster, it holds the food in until squeesed onto the polyps,yet small enough to get in there with the polyps & can hold & lock in very small or very large food (plankton up to large brine shrimp)

it's used to cover the coral so other littel guys like shrimp adn hungery fishes won't take the sun corals food

noone bothers his food as they are all on the scrounge for themselves...
