"I plan to buy it."

One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. Its alot more simple than how it reads. I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries.

Barkmew Final Thoughts

"Product works."

Consistent food size is the key to more consistent results. The feeder is also sleek and has a small footprint. I couldn't hear it was running still I saw fish foods in the tank. The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. The interface on the feeder is extremely user friendly. It has a very good instruction manual and can be followed with ease. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable.

"No complain."

This certainly worked for my purposes. I have a one gallon tank with a betta. I do get food on the edges of the opening which I push in later for the fish. He eats once a day, but you can set this to feed up to four times a day. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. I couldn't hear it was running still I saw fish foods in the tank. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries.

"This worked very well."

The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. Portion size can be adjusted easily. The cup is removable and there is a large door on the side as well. This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago. I tested it on plain paper several times before graduating it to the tank. This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains.

"Seems to work good."

Programming was not too difficult, but does need careful reading. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. I can leave town and not worry about the fish. That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed. Forgetting to feed your fish will not happen again with this Auto Fish Feeder.

"Will buy again."

Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food. This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago. Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains. I figured too much food was better than too little. Yes, if you have the door open too much it'll dump food in. I think that's a great idea and I will probably do the same. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day.

"Will buy again."

There are a couple ways to mount this feeder. Not sure why they suggest not to do so, but it worked just fine. The unit arrived partially charged. I have this on a 60 gallon aquarium and so far it's working great! It would probably sell like hot cakes. The size of the tank is too small to recommend. That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch.

"Recommend!"

It's been two weeks and Betta Boy has figured out who feeds him now. I did a couple test pours into a plastic bag so I could get it just right. 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. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right. That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. It has a button you can press to do a manual feeding.

"But I love it."

It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. Not carbon zinc, alkaline batteries. It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. They have fish and the need for them to be fed was much needed. That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. I have used this every day for a year and love it. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium.

Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. Another big tip for flake food users. This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. That number of rotations shows as tiny number in the left-most lower window. That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass.

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.
