    You can check at East Ocean, i was there last week and noticed they are now selling the acrylic feeding dish (with acrylic nut and bolt parts, same as the ones i use).... but i didn't spot the acrylic feeding tube attachment though, maybe you can check with them on it.

    Not sure about the tube, I use my pinsettes to drop the food.

    I got my feeding dish however from GC.

    I glued a feeding dish to a suction thingy cos I got no place to put the dish on the substrate. Maybe will use a pao pao cha straw as an alternative when feeding, but like very troublesome leh

    The acrylic tube is very useful as a food "chute" in most tanks, but if you have otocinclus there is a high chance they will find their way into the chute from the bottom and then get stuck in it... they cannot turn around and somehow don't know how to reverse so just keep swimming upwards, hence end up perpetually trapped in the tube.

    Hikari algae wafers do sink quickly, and they also start to soften very quickly too, so it's best to make sure it's placed in the feeding dish from the start or else it'll tend to crumble apart when you try to move it around with pinsettes.

    Lucky I got no oto, but can't seem to find the tube thingy. Seems like only eBay has them. Looks like will try DIY something similar.

    Hikari algae wafers sink. So no worries about that. I have no experience with crab cuisine though.

    So far i've only seen the acrylic feeding dish available locally at East Ocean... but not the accompanying acrylic tube. If you want a set, looks like you'll have to just order it from eBay.

    Do a search for "acrylic feeding dish" on eBay and you see a whole bunch of seller listings for it.

    Thanks.
    I gotten the last piece from East Ocean.
    Hoping to get another one, those with the plastics screw and nut type by ANS.
    Any idea where else is carrying this?
    Please advise. Thanks.
