Replenishing feed boxes in tanks
« on: November 08, 2006, 01:35:12 AM »
When I enter my tanks in guest mode, the boxes and piles with feed cannot be replenished. The bouys can be replenished all right, so I prefer to use these in stead of food items on the bottom.

Does anyone know how to solve this replenishment problem?

:unsure:

Are you actually swimming down next to them? You can't replenish from the surface.

Also, you have to 'approach' them correctly. Sometimes you will swim over them and it won't say 'refill' and if you change your angle it WILL say "press spacebar to refill".

Yep I've found that I appreciate my zookeepers much more for tanks because they swim much better than I do!

Whenever one of those boxes needs filling I usually just take a zookeeper and drop him in!  :laughing:

LOL, I've learned it's easiest to select a food item (if available) that is a floater! Like the "BOOEY"<--------

Also if your tank is too deep you wont reach it. Lift the floor a tad, replenish then lower again if you want to.

thanks guys.

Good idea to plunge a keeper in the tank. (Whenever there's one available)
