"It's closer to 4."

I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed. Portion size can be adjusted easily. I am very happy to own this feeder. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. The notches are too widely spaced and too ill fitting. Easy to setup and ability to set a desired feed schedule. Fast delivery,easy instructions to set up time and feeding.

Aquarium Equip G036_R AW Final Thoughts

"These feeders are simple."

I even watched them being fed on the home video cameras while I was away. May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip. The slider door does not move on its own during rotations. Otherwise you will no doubt eventually get water in there. Overall this is a very good feeder. 5 notches and it's worked perfectly for me. There was no problem mounting the unit on the lip of the bowl.

"No more moisture!"

He eats once a day, but you can set this to feed up to four times a day. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up. I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. The interface on the feeder is extremely user friendly. The cup is removable and there is a large door on the side as well. Another nice feature is the feeder will rotate on its screw attachment base. Must be at least 1 or it will not feed at all.

  • SunGrow Feeding Ring Set for Aquarium, One Square and One Round Floating Plate, Fish Food Stays Inside Frame, Easy Feeding, Lower Food Waste, Helps Keep Large Betta Tank Clean, Includes 2 Suction Cups
  • ✔ REDUCES FOOD WASTE AND AVOIDS BULLYING --- Using the SunGrow Fish Feeding Rings is an easy and efficient way to reduce food waste and discourage bullying amongst your fish. Keeping your food in a certain area restricts extra flakes and pellets from scattering about and getting pulled into the water filter. Giving your fish separate feeding spots, bully fish can't hog all the rings and your timid fish can eat in peace.
  • ✔ KEEPS FISH TANKS CLEANER FOR LONGER --- Instead of sprinkling the fish food all across the top of your aquarium, the floating feeder gives food a specific area of its own. By placing food directly into the SunGrow Feeding Rings, there is less loose food roaming around the tank. Fewer pieces of wayward food means a cleaner tank and less maintenance.
  • ✔ DURABLE, ECO FRIENDLY MATERIALS --- All of the materials used in crafting the set of 2 Fish Food Feeders are environmentally friendly and innocuous to your aquatic pets. The black PVC plastic frames and included suction cups are long lasting, durable and odorless. These materials are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater habitats. The Square plate is the bigger one with 4 inch (10 cm) length and the Round plate has 2 inch diameter (5.5 cm), so you can use them according to your need.
  • ✔ PERFECT FOR ALL FLOATING FISH FOOD --- The pair of SunGrow Feeding Rings are specially designed for floating food only, as sinking food will not stay within the frames for very long. All sorts of floating foods can be put into the floating feeders where it will remain until your fish are ready to eat. Flakes, granulars, pellets and leaves are just a few of the many suitable fish foods.
  • ✔ GREAT FOR MANY SPECIES OF AQUATIC PETS --- Goldfish, guppies, catfish, tetras, mollies and danios are just a few of the many fish that will eat from the convenient fish food feeders. In particular, territorial fish such as bettas and cichlids benefit from having their own area to feed from. Other aquatic pets like water turtles, shrimp, crayfish and African dwarf frogs can also use the floating feeder rings.

"Here are some pictures."

I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped. This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. It also allow multiple feeding option and times. You can also set it to feed at up to 4 times a day. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening.

May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip. It also allow multiple feeding option and times. However, I was able to get it to stay stuck in between two.

"These feeders are simple."

I couldn't hear it was running still I saw fish foods in the tank. Once I got the opening where I wanted it, things have gone great. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up. It takes 3 presses of the set button to move to the 3rd feeding time. However until I find a tank that fits my space, that is it.

The first opening was way too small. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. It has a very good instruction manual and can be followed with ease. Otherwise you will no doubt eventually get water in there. Overall, this product has been great. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up.

"Highly recommend it!"

You can also set it to feed at up to 4 times a day. That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders. That number of rotations shows as tiny number in the left-most lower window. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped.

"So far so good!"

This does everything but fill itself with food. The first opening was way too small. They mostly were checking in to make sure this EHEIM feeder was working. I figured too much food was better than too little. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. There are a couple ways to mount this feeder.

There was no problem mounting the unit on the lip of the bowl. You can make it work with these, but you need to be careful. I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed. I have been feeding twice a day with one spin per time. I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine. Another big tip for flake food users.

That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders. Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains. However, I was able to get it to stay stuck in between two. It took a min to figure out the instructions. Forgetting to feed your fish will not happen again with this Auto Fish Feeder. It would probably sell like hot cakes. So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine.

The size of the tank is too small to recommend. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food. Must be at least 1 or it will not feed at all. The other way you can mount this is with a stick on mount.

The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. However until I find a tank that fits my space, that is it. Once I got the opening where I wanted it, things have gone great. I added a small funnel to catch the food and guide it. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole.

I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. The size of the food compartment is huge depending on the number of fish you have. Another big tip for flake food users.

Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time.

I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. I added a small funnel to catch the food and guide it. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. I have no complaints and fish are happy. For the gouramis I have flake food, but for the corys I have sinking pellets.
