DIY Acrylic Holder for Eheim Automatic Feeder
Are you tired of watching the fish pellets dispensed from your automatic feeder floating on the water's surface and into your overflow? I was and today I said "It Shall Not Happen AGAIN"
So I made this little contraption.... very similar to the ones I've seen on RC The holder profile   With the feeder on top  Mounted on the center brace  View from below  Mounted with the feeder on top   First trial - spin that wheel  It FLOATS, it SINKS, its GONE  I LOVE THIS THING!!!!

I knew I was hanging onto my scrap acrylic for a good reason and that the reason just hadn't found me yet ... thank you for helping that idea find its way ..
 Nice work btw!

That's a beaut. I made one a while back for my Eheim dual feeder. Similar idea but mine hangs on the side - keeps it away from the lights. Took a few prototypes until I finally arrived at this point. Added the little ramp affair for more tilt. Found the screw type feeding mechanism doesn't dispense larger flakes that well. Also gets a little extra clearance from the T5HO.
