I am using the Eheim single and also strongly recommend it.

I also bought the Hydor unit online and never used it and it is sitting BNIB ...

weak points on it include:
- need an air pump if you want to circulate air through chamber
- no bracket to mount on rim of tank, you need to sit it on a flat surface
- not exactly programmable feeding times, there are pre-set spacings which you must use and if you want to go with 4 feedings, that puts you on a 12, 14 or 16 hour schedule, can't recall exactly which one.

Anyone experience this?
You could try using a feeding ring below the outlet to control your float away factor.
