Automatic feeder needed

[ninjamini]

I am looking for an automatic feeder. Any recommendations on which one to get?

EHEIM works very well.
As we speak mine is working overtime. One week away from my tank-
I'll be checking on it tomorrow.

Eheim, Big als have the best price, it can feed twice each feeding with one minute in between which I like and up to 4 times a day making it actually 8 discharging as small or big as you want. It also has an internal air pump that keeps moisture out

velcro both sides-to the brace that's how mine is attached.

So to the top edge of the tank or the outside of it on the glass? It sticks out. Is it secure?

Mine has been on the center brace for a year now-the unit itself had a food compartment that detaches for the fillings.
And yes its been secure.

I may have to pick one of these up for when I go to the Keys next month! Thanks for the recommendations.

Does anyone have pictures of how theirs is mounted?

I am about to buy this unit, but was worried that it might melt from being so close to my MH bulbs. The bulbs are about 8-10 inches off the water, so they would be pretty close to the feeder if I attached it on my center brace. Have you noticed a problem at all?

I did not see any problem.
