anybody using automatic fish feeders?

[Nanodoc]

I have a 29 gallon reef tank but thinking of stocking it with more fish than my still-alive-used-for-cycling-purposes-yellowtail damsel. . However, I like my tank automated as much as possible.
Does anybody have experience with those automatic feeders, I read the reviews and most of them are questionable.
If you have ever used one, please post your experience

I thought about getting an automatic feeder years back, but most seem to be suited for flake food. To keep the food from getting moist some require an air pump to be connected. If you find a good one, then let me know.

I have the Eheim one. I own 2 one is in my big tank and one over my 29G. They work great. It has to be used on a open hood tank. I use them to supplement my frozen food feedings.

This one?: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4460

I read some good reviews on that one years back, but I wasn't sure how it would work on food other than flakes. What types of food do you use in yours?

I used one on my 55 several years ago.It worked well with flake and pellet food.If I used more than a week it would build up moisture.

Yes, thats the one I have. Like Snakeman says. It's great with flake and pellet foods. The one over my 29 has no problems with moisture. The one under my hood on my 120 gallon gets a little moisture but still works great without too much trouble.

This is the best one ever. You can hook it up to a controller or a timer. It has a grinder to keep the food from sticking together. It is well built and feeds everything. The adjustments are very precise.

I'm not sure how you would mount that. It appears to be pretty tall and noticeable. Do you have a pic of one in use?

is it the 3581, 2 reviews on saltaquarium gave it 2-3 stars.
I don't know how I will clip it on my Nanocube hood, I guess duct tape for a week while I am gone won't hurt. I will give it some more thought.
