Brine Shrimp...........

[thebulkhimself]

For my job I am constantly out of town for normally about a week at a time. My tank is pretty much fully automatic - auto top off - auto feeding etc.....

My question is about Brine Shrimp - My plan is to somehow have a 'hatchery' that i can use a peristaltic pump to introduce live feed into the tank every couple of days - at the moment its only pellets and flakes.

Would it be possible and if so could I use my refugium as the "hatchery" tank?????

There isn't a large amount of food required

(250L system - 1 small Blue Tang, 1 Coral Beauty, 2 small common clowns and a small Bubble tip anenome)

Any thoughts or ideas????

Brine shrimp have very little nutrition. Most fish can go several days without feeding. Both your blue tang and coral beauty will pick on algae so they aren't as much concern as the clowns. I would probably suggest that you continue to feed pellets via an auto feeder every other day while you are out of town. Your fish should be just fine.

I wouldn't,if something mess up then it pumps it into the tank on and on.
