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.

Thanks for the info. Do they sell the Eheim feeder at King Ed's?

JL is apparently out of stock on the Ehiem feeder. Who else sells them? Still need 2 or 3 more

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.

I use the eheim feeder picked it up at ba's works great for the price 25-30 bucks you can feed any time due to digital display. no clogging up, I recommend it
