"Works as advertised."Otherwise you can hang this pretty much anywhere if your tank doesn't have a cover. There are a couple ways to mount this feeder. It takes 3 presses of the set button to move to the 3rd feeding time. My son loves this automatic fish feeder. Another big tip for flake food users. USB charging is quick and easy and uses a standard micro USB cable. Not carbon zinc, alkaline batteries.

Fluval 10786 Final Thoughts
"Operation wise, no flaws."Consistent food size is the key to more consistent results. The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole. They even include two alkaline AA batteries in the box. You slide the opening to adjust how much food you want to come out. I have a 75 gallon tank, and removed a 1.

"Nice mounting features."I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. I can leave town and not worry about the fish. Easy to setup and ability to set a desired feed schedule. This certainly worked for my purposes. I think that's a great idea and I will probably do the same. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better. So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine.

"I have it set on about 1."This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. I can leave town and not worry about the fish. So you don't have to constantly be adding food. Overall, this product has been great. I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder.

"Seems to work good."It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole. 5 notches and it's worked perfectly for me. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. Not sure why they suggest not to do so, but it worked just fine. I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. Forgetting to feed your fish will not happen again with this Auto Fish Feeder.

Antilog Final Thoughts
"And that's a good thing!"They have fish and the need for them to be fed was much needed. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. It is the quiet feeder I ever have. Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains. All the time and effort I could have saved.

"Best thing I ever bought."I look forward to my next vacation with asking someone to feed my fish. The unit arrived partially charged. He eats once a day, but you can set this to feed up to four times a day. I have used this every day for a year and love it. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. They even include two alkaline AA batteries in the box. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up.

"Just like life I guess."There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. You slide the opening to adjust how much food you want to come out. Overall this is a very good feeder. This does everything but fill itself with food. The first opening was way too small. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. Not carbon zinc, alkaline batteries.

"Hope this review helped."There were a few cheaper feeders that I considered. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. Programming feeding times is easy using the instructions provided. It's been two weeks and Betta Boy has figured out who feeds him now. This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago. Must be at least 1 or it will not feed at all. For the gouramis I have flake food, but for the corys I have sinking pellets.

"It still works just fine."I have used this every day for a year and love it. I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. I do get food on the edges of the opening which I push in later for the fish. Overall, this product has been great. Took me all of 5 minutes start to finish to get it set up. The notches are too widely spaced and too ill fitting.

"For us it was perfect!"The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. The price was good, and I recommend it! The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. I purchased this before a month-long vacation. This fish feeder is very configurable and reliable. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable.

Otherwise you will no doubt eventually get water in there. Its alot more simple than how it reads. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. Consistent food size is the key to more consistent results.

"Nice mounting features."It is tied down to keep it from falling into the tank. This will ruin li-ion batteries over time. You can tell it how many times you want it to spin, up to 3, I think. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made. Don't lose the instructions or you'll go crazy trying to program it. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries.

It has a very good instruction manual and can be followed with ease. The slider door does not move on its own during rotations. Portion size can be adjusted easily. That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders. The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need.

"Recommend!"Consistent food size is the key to more consistent results. It has a button you can press to do a manual feeding. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped. USB charging is quick and easy and uses a standard micro USB cable. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed.
