Default Automatic Fish Feeder

I'm looking to buy 3-4 Automatic Fish feeders. Does anybody have one or know which one is a good one to buy? Does anybody have one that I can borrow for a couple weeks in August?

i don't have any but have read that eheim is the brand to get for automatic fish feeders. they are most reliable and don't clog up.

I have the Rena, used it last year for 11 days and this year for 8 while I was on Holidays. Lots of programming options... 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 times a day with 1, 2, or 3 rotations of the feeder wheel. It works for me (pellets/flake food), small heater built in to avoid clogging. If I can use it anyone can... LOL.

Don't know how it would stand up using continuously though, I only use it when I'm on holidays.

Ive been using a Rena auto feeder. I really like it. I was worried about using one but never had one problem. Has a big drum & lots of settings even a light sensor so it wont feed when the lights are off. Worth checking http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=fd-aprff
I should also say that I have run this constantly for over a year without a problem, only thing is when the power goes out you need to reset your setting because it goes to a factory default so it wont over feed I guess.
