  1. In the blink of an eye...

    I happen to glance over at my reef right as the Eheim autofeeder plunged into the tank. It was still in feeding mode, rotating as it sank to the bottom of the tank. These auto feeders aren't cheap, so I quickly pulled it out of the tank and started disassemble immediately.
