Anyone using automatic feeders for flakes/pellets?
 
If so, which brand and would you recommend buying one?

I just want to be able to drop flakes and or pellets into the tank a couple of times a day in small amounts.

Still going to feed frozen once a day after work.

I've been using a Rena feeder for about 4years and would never go back to manual feeding. I set it up initially for a holiday but never took it off. I've found my fish healthy, water quality higher and everything is on a standard schedule that I think things like.

I've been using an eheim auto feeder for pellets. Works for flakes too tho. I don't know of any that will dispense non dry foods.

Do you use the smaller one or the double one?

That seems to be the one getting the best reviews. I think I'll give it a try once i'm up and running.

Thanks.

I've been using them for four years and have never had a problem with them unless I drop it into the tank.. which I seem to do ALL THE TIME :lol:
