Automatic Feeder??

What's your favorite automatic feeder that won't "overfeed"?

i've been using the "Eheim "Feed-Air" Digital Automatic Feeder" for 3 years and really love it.

Eheim too. No issues.

Been wondering this myself so I can keep the fish fed more than once or twice a day.

Neptune is coming out with one that you can control. Working form home it is not an issue but if that changes that is the one Ill look at if you have a controller.

For you guys using the eheim feeders, how do you guys keep the uneaten food from going into the overflows? My fish don't seem that smart and just wait until the food falls rather than picking at it while it's on the surface thus most of the food being waste by just going into the overflow. I've been even thinking of setting up a funnel to reduce the waste and contain the food in one spot until it slowly drops.

Any suggestions besides the possible use of a funnel?

I use a feeding ring under the pump.
