"Thank you."

This will ruin li-ion batteries over time. It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. It would probably sell like hot cakes. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. I have a 75 gallon tank, and removed a 1. The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. The interface on the feeder is extremely user friendly.

Aquarium Choice Final Thoughts

"Works as advertised."

I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. This certainly worked for my purposes. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. Suitable for locating anywhere on the tank ledge. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. I decided to use it as the everyday feeder, and not just when I'm out of town.

"Easy to configure."

Comes on a swivel bracket to accommodate special angles for installation. The unit arrived partially charged. I bought this feeder to use on my betta tank for weeks when I go home from college. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up. That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders.

"This is all automatic."

So you don't have to constantly be adding food. Filling the container is easy, and the auto timer is amazing. They even include two alkaline AA batteries in the box. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. I feed small pellet food, about the size of sand. Overall this is a very good feeder. The size of the food compartment is huge depending on the number of fish you have.

"I was gone for 12 days."

I think that's a great idea and I will probably do the same. I have used this every day for a year and love it. I have this on a 60 gallon aquarium and so far it's working great! Online instructions are not much help. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. On this one you don't have to reset anything when filling. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right.

"Thank you."

The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. For the gouramis I have flake food, but for the corys I have sinking pellets. Another nice feature is the feeder will rotate on its screw attachment base. This does everything but fill itself with food. I have been feeding twice a day with one spin per time. He and his wife travel to India to see his in-laws. Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food.

"This is a great feeder."

I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. I did a couple test pours into a plastic bag so I could get it just right. The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better.

"Works great now."

This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. There was no problem mounting the unit on the lip of the bowl. You can tell it how many times you want it to spin, up to 3, I think. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. You can make it work with these, but you need to be careful. Consistent food size is the key to more consistent results.

  • Penn-Plax Pro Balance Vacation Fish Feeder | Slow Release Food That’s Great for Vacays | 1 Block Feeds up to 14 Days | 1 Fish Shaped Block (1 Package)
  • GREAT FOR VACAYS: Worried about finding a fish-sitter as you plan for your next getaway or adventure? Or, whenever or not they’ll overfeed your fish? Fear no more! Our Pro Balance Vacation Fish Feeder Blocks will feed your fish while you’re away. Each block feeds to up 14 days, and each package contains 1 Fish Shaped Block.
  • IDEAL FOR 10 – 15 GALLON TANKS: Our Fish Feeder Blocks work best in aquariums that are between 10 and 15 Gallons in size. One block will last 10 to 14 days, depending on the PH level and water temperature. A minimum water temperature of 72°F (22°C) and PH level of 6.6 to 7.0 is most efficient for the release of food particles.
  • REQUIRES AERATION & CIRCULATION: Within hours, our Feeder Blocks will start to dissolve, releasing nutritious freeze-dried foods while neutralizing your aquarium’s water. In order for this to happen, your tank should have the proper aeration and circulation. Our Feeder Blocks dissolve normally with setups that have an air stone or filter.
  • GIVE IT A TRY BEFORE YOUR TRIP: Just like us, our fish can get picky over their food. As a suggestion, you may want to place 1 Feeder Block in your tank 2 to 3 weeks before your vacation or trip. This way, you’ll see if they like it or not. To take it a step further, you may want to leave the tank alone as you test our Feed Blocks, mimicking the trip.

The rechargeable battery makes me feel better about the environment. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. For the price, I do not regret my purchase.

That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. This will ruin li-ion batteries over time. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip.
