this is NOT reliable, and will polute your water.
I'd rather feed less then to use this thing.
Your tank will be fine with less live food for two weeks, just make sure your tank sitter understands how feeding is different from OVERfeeding.

Yeah I was afraid of the polution...especially ammonia from the hatched eggs.

The tank sitter is fine - he has 3 aquariums himself to take care of :-) I will also prepare food portions for him to simplify his life...

Just out of curiousty - how long can these fish go WITHOUT food at all:

Royal Gramma
Clowfish
Green chromis
6line wrasse
firefish
2 cleaner shrimps

Why not use an automatic dry food feeder? Dont all of your fish accept pellet food as well? I've beed using this unit for nearly two years and its fantastic http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=em-zfeed
