Petacc Final Thoughts

"Set the time."

On this one you don't have to reset anything when filling. So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need. All the time and effort I could have saved. However, I was able to get it to stay stuck in between two. This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. I have been feeding twice a day with one spin per time.

There are a couple ways to mount this feeder. Programming was not too difficult, but does need careful reading. There are a couple ways to mount this feeder. It's been two weeks and Betta Boy has figured out who feeds him now. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. I like to keep consistency with the tank. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip.

"Nice product, works well."

Not sure why they suggest not to do so, but it worked just fine. This will ruin li-ion batteries over time. I added a small funnel to catch the food and guide it. The first opening was way too small. The barrel with the food spins at each specified feeding time. Comes on a swivel bracket to accommodate special angles for installation.

Rogger's Reef Food First Impressions

"Easy to refill."

So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. He eats once a day, but you can set this to feed up to four times a day. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation. The notches are too widely spaced and too ill fitting. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right.

The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. The first opening was way too small. That is the only potential issue with automatic feeders.

"Good price too."

The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. I figured too much food was better than too little. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. I like to keep consistency with the tank. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation. This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago.

"Very pleased."

So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. The feeder is also sleek and has a small footprint. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. So you don't have to constantly be adding food. That number of rotations shows as tiny number in the left-most lower window. I figured too much food was better than too little. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate.

"Worked for my beta."

I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. I would rather overbuy than underbuy. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. The size of the tank is too small to recommend.

ProBalance First Impressions

"This thing worked great."

Suitable for locating anywhere on the tank ledge. The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. I figured too much food was better than too little. The barrel with the food spins at each specified feeding time. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made.

"Love this feeder."

They even include two alkaline AA batteries in the box. It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. Another nice feature is the feeder will rotate on its screw attachment base. Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food. So you don't have to constantly be adding food. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. Other than this complicated setting, it's very easy to use.
