DIY Acrylic Holder for Eheim Automatic Feeder

[mike31154]

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.

Hey, I want a couple of those!
You guys should take orders!
Poor us who are NOT handy DIYers will pay for them.

Hey there Chin, I just had a closer look at your build and am wondering where you scored the nylon bolts with the nice knurled heads? All I can find locally is nylon screws/bolts with standard heads and I have to drive to the Kelowna HD to get them.

i had to special order them from a nuts/bolt fastener place. i bought them years ago for a DIY skimmer project. these were the leftovers.
