Hi Nemo. The best i have found is the Eheim one never missed a beat in 3 years i have had it. HTH. Eric

So true TM!

Ehiem by a mile!

Great feeding device which tumbles the food out and can deliver the exact amount of food you want.

For £30 it will be one of your best buys.

If I ever used an auto feed timer I would make sure and buy a quality branded model. Very risky to buy a cheap model. Not sure what make it was but I read on another forum that the 14 day food allowance was dumped into the tank in 1 go. :eek: The lad returned from holiday to find his tank a total wipeout.

I would definitely recommend the Eheim, it's a good reliable piece of kit. :)

It's worth mentioning that you should try and secure the autofeeder in place using cable ties or similar. They don't like getting wet, and like saltwater even less :eek:

I'd also recommend using a feeding ring to ensure that the flake enters the water column, and doesn't float straight into a weir.

I'd heard this too but I think the guy was using pellets which made the bin end heavy and the whole thing fell into the tank on the first rotation :eek: So as Subz88 says, its a must that you tie it down and don't just rely on the velcro, especially when using pellets.

I too have the Ehiem autofeeder cause it came highly recommended. I can't comment on its use though as I haven't got round to setting it up yet :rolleyes:
