"Overall, a good product."

This certainly worked for my purposes. This does everything but fill itself with food. I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed. This thing must be running on uranium. I tried his usual food pellets and quickly decided that they would not work at all. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. This thing must be running on uranium.

NICREW N0673A Final Thoughts

"It still works just fine."

Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. My son loves this automatic fish feeder. The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. Otherwise you can hang this pretty much anywhere if your tank doesn't have a cover. I do get food on the edges of the opening which I push in later for the fish. May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip.

"And that's a good thing!"

Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. Online instructions are not much help. 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. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. Filling the container is easy, and the auto timer is amazing.

"Good luck."

Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains. This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. This certainly worked for my purposes. Battery indicator on the display lets you know how much battery life remains. Must be at least 1 or it will not feed at all. Yes, if you have the door open too much it'll dump food in.

Vaskey Final Thoughts

"This thing worked great."

The size of the tank is too small to recommend. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. It took a min to figure out the instructions. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. Not sure why they suggest not to do so, but it worked just fine. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right. I would rather overbuy than underbuy.

Freedi Final Thoughts

"Shame as a great idea."

I also find it much easier to program. He and his wife travel to India to see his in-laws. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation. I saw another reviewer who said they had two of these on their tank. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders.

"Great feeder!"

So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. For the price, I do not regret my purchase. The other way you can mount this is with a stick on mount. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. USB charging is quick and easy and uses a standard micro USB cable. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better.

"Seems to work good."

The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. I did a couple test pours into a plastic bag so I could get it just right. Don't lose the instructions or you'll go crazy trying to program it. Other than this complicated setting, it's very easy to use. Another big tip for flake food users. I have not, however, tested it with pelleted food. The first opening was way too small.

"Easy assembly."

Yes, if you have the door open too much it'll dump food in. You slide the opening to adjust how much food you want to come out. I did a couple test pours into a plastic bag so I could get it just right. I even watched them being fed on the home video cameras while I was away. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. This does everything but fill itself with food. Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food.
