Automatic feeder

[ReefWreak]

Hi

I'm looking to invest in an automatic feeder to keep the new angels off of the corals. I normally feed every other day, so that might be too little feeding for them. They have not yet picked at any hard coral, only once or twice in the 5 days I've had them on a colt coral, but that seems to be it. Anyways, just looking for suggestions on an autofeeder. It can be either plug in or battery. I'm thinking maybe feeding twice a day, some in right when the lights come on, and some right before they go out? I've got a heavy duty skimmer now, so it should be able to easily clean them out, not to mention the fishes themselves!

Thanks,

Eric

I use an aqua chef. I would say that it is decent but I will go with something higher end in the near future..I don't know what though.

I have an eheim -advatanges include fan to avoid clumping-anyways it doses mid morning and mid afternoon when i'm not home,then at night i feed mysis or any other of the voodo mixes like Rogers recipe and so forth.
With the eheim u can set it to feed about four diff times a day.
I believe it sells for about $80
I've always been skeptical about them failing but so far so good.

best money I ever spend for the aquarium is an eheim 3581.
individual programming for up to 4 feedings per day.
1, 2 or 3 portions each time.
and all that for under $40.00
