I am looking to make a auto feeder that will feed the fish liquid foods, I was trying to find a solenoid controled PVC valve and just pipe in water to all of them only the one that was open would shoot out the contents of the pipe and so on, but I cant find anythign that is even in a good price range (i.e. $98 just for the connection). I am wanting to get like 10 feeders worth of this like in three inch long 1/2" PVC with a opening at the bottom, and there normal state with out electrity would be closed (in case of power outages) and would open via X10 control. Please if you could point me in a place that would be able to help I would love you <-----------------------------------------this much--------------------------------------------------->. sorry I have been trying to do this for days now.

Just a thought...... but being a minister I do hospital visits a lot.. and I dont know what it's called .. but when someone is in ICU they often have an IV attached to them that every 10 mins or so will buzz and I'll watch some sort of drug shoot down a line into their blood stream. I guess its dosing morphine or somthing.... What about somthing like that? Know anyone in the healthcare profession???

I have thought about that, but it would still let off a sentch. I am looking for something more sealed till it is time to go into the tank.

It can be seal against the atomsphere. Just need to use the right container. If you are more specific (how frequent, quantity, type of feeding, etc) then maybe we can comment on how well it will work.
