"The motor is very quiet."Another big tip for flake food users. The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. Must be at least 1 or it will not feed at all. It took a min to figure out the instructions. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up. You don't have as much control over applications as if you feed by hand. They mostly were checking in to make sure this EHEIM feeder was working.

Tetra AQ-78247 Final Thoughts
"Overall, a good product."Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. Online instructions are not much help. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. I can leave town and not worry about the fish. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. Otherwise you will no doubt eventually get water in there. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation.

"This is all automatic."The price was good, and I recommend it! It has a button you can press to do a manual feeding. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. USB charging is quick and easy and uses a standard micro USB cable. So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. 5 notches and it's worked perfectly for me. You can make it work with these, but you need to be careful.

"But I love it."The clamp is sturdy but could be improved by rubberized grips for the tank glass. Online instructions are not much help. I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. The slider door does not move on its own during rotations. However until I find a tank that fits my space, that is it. Its alot more simple than how it reads. The interface on the feeder is extremely user friendly.
- SLSON Fish Feeding Ring Aquarium Fish Floating Food Feeder Circle Square and Round with Suction Cup,Set of 2 Black
- PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOUR FEEDING:bullies can't hog all the rings, so everyone gets a chance to eat in peace. It even allows the owner to feed different foods to finicky fish. If one ring is filled with food the fish will dash right over there, leaving the second ring open to drop specialty food in for those picky eaters.
- KEEP YOUR AQUARIUM CLEAN: the fish feeding rings keep the food in a certain area,it doesn't end up scattered all over, or pulled into the filter, which allows more of it to be eaten. That does wonders to reduce waste and maintain water quality.
- HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL:this floating feeding ring made of premium rubber and plastic,non-toxic and safe for your fish.Ideal aquarium food feeder for Betta Tetra Guppy Goldfish Clownfish Molly Platy Swordtail Corydoras Cichlids Shark Catfish Glofish Loach Danio Fish.
- FLOATING FOOD ONLY:suitable for feeding flake foods and other floating foods. Put foods into the circle, it will prevent food from floating around. (no use for sinking food)

"No more moisture!"I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. Easy to setup and ability to set a desired feed schedule. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. You slide the opening to adjust how much food you want to come out. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine.

"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.

"It worked."The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. I tested it on plain paper several times before graduating it to the tank. You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped. I feed small pellet food, about the size of sand. So far I have only used flake food in it, but it's handling it just fine. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made. The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about.

"Fish survived."Programming feeding times is easy using the instructions provided. However, I was able to get it to stay stuck in between two. For the price, I do not regret my purchase. I like to keep consistency with the tank. You can also set it to feed at up to 4 times a day. Comes on a swivel bracket to accommodate special angles for installation. The first opening was way too small.

The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. He and his wife travel to India to see his in-laws.

"Works great."There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole. My son loves this automatic fish feeder. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. I do get food on the edges of the opening which I push in later for the fish. I have not, however, tested it with pelleted food.
