<br>

But the other day finally i was given one of these tools for my own use,it works a treat also.

<br>

Well done AGAIN Mark[cichlids_au],who would of thought a pepper grinder had a use in a fish room.But it sure works fine

little mess and no time wasted crushing pellets for fry no-more

.

<br>

No more pellets flying all over the place ,good stuff Mark.

<br>

<br>

I've also found that getting a lump of spirulina flakes, putting them in a fish bag and rolling them around in the palm of your hand crushes them into powder perfectly. You then add the powdered flake to the pepper grinder along with the pellets. I still crush my big orca pellets between two bits of perspex and add them to the grinder.

<br>

So I guess the grinder doesn't do too much grinding but it's perfect for sprinkling the fry food out without the fear of getting water in the container.

Cheers Darryl, I'm glad your pleased

I have used pepper grinders before, but now I use an old electric coffee grinder.

<br>

<br>

I make up about 200 grams of food and when the fry need feeding I just take out a small scoop.
