Not carbon zinc, alkaline batteries. So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. I would rather overbuy than underbuy. Its alot more simple than how it reads. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. Overall, this product has been great.

"Very quiet in operation."

I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need. It is tied down to keep it from falling into the tank. You can also set it to feed at up to 4 times a day. The price was good, and I recommend it! I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains.

Current USA Final Thoughts

"No complain."

I would rather overbuy than underbuy. It has a very good instruction manual and can be followed with ease. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. I decided to use it as the everyday feeder, and not just when I'm out of town. That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose.

ShinePick DR030-SP-US-123 Final Thoughts

"This worked very well."

Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. The size of the food compartment is huge depending on the number of fish you have. I even watched them being fed on the home video cameras while I was away. Yes, if you have the door open too much it'll dump food in.

"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.

SunGrow Final Thoughts

"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.

"Good price too."

I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. The barrel with the food spins at each specified feeding time.

I have this on a 60 gallon aquarium and so far it's working great!

"Think outside the box."

The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. I purchased this before a month-long vacation. Must be at least 1 or it will not feed at all. You don't have as much control over applications as if you feed by hand. I saw another reviewer who said they had two of these on their tank. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. Filling the container is easy, and the auto timer is amazing.

"Use small pellets."

The rechargeable battery makes me feel better about the environment. The packaging says not to use rechargeable batteries. This thing must be running on uranium. I saw another reviewer who said they had two of these on their tank. I have a 75 gallon tank, and removed a 1. Portion size can be adjusted easily. I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed.

Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. It takes 3 presses of the set button to move to the 3rd feeding time. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation.
