I am trying to find a way to autofeed my fish. Hopefully permanently but for now at least while on vacation. I have seen several write ups on refrigerated autofeeders. My question is can the following listed fish live on the liquid foods that will flow through the dosing pumps everyone uses? How do I know what foods will flow through said pumps?
2 x Clowns, Twospot Bristletooth Tang or powder blue tang, Yellow Head Jawfish, 5 x Blue reef Chromis ,One Spot Foxface ,Flame Angelfish ,Yellow Head Jawfish ,Pyramid angelfish
 
I've never heard of any fish eating a liquid diet. Don't know if you can even get them to eat it. Dropping chuncks into the feeder I've heard of, cutting up Nori Sheets to drop in there also, but not liquid. Got me on that one.

Have you ever developed something for this? I was feeding my fish Reef Nutrition liquid foods in QT and was able to get them to eat during the lethargic stages. I am contemplating setting up a dosing system to feed my tank throughout the day on a variety of liquid foods, leaving me to only have to drop in mysis once a day. I can fit a dorm fridge or wine cooler so I was planning to do a Yeti Rambler that would just be topped off each morning. Easy enough my wife, kids or neighbor could do it when I am away.
