help on automated feeder for weekends away

[pascal32]

Any suggestions on an automated feeder and food? We do weekends away (usually no more than 3 days - sometimes 4). Dosing is covered as is top-off.

(1) OS tang
(1) yellow tang
(1) cardinal
(2) clowns
(1) chromi
(2) damsels

mixed reef - SPS heavy, still working on the LPS.

thanks!

The Eheim is nice and has a digital timer built in. Fill it with Spectrum Pellets and you'll be good to go.

Same here. Best combo for daily feedings too.

you feed pellets daily - I only feed frozen. mix of Rods and misis along with a sheet of Nori...might be time to reconsider...

specifically what model Eheim... the "feed air"?

What size spectrum pellets work well with what feeder?
I've been using the cheapo NutriMatic feeders (and they work great) but I need to find out which Eheims work well with what Spectrum pellets........

I use the eheim feed air with spectrum pellets. I like the way that it functions, but I wish there was an easy way to connect it to the tank. I had a to make a platform out of PVC.

I also noticed that if my light is accidentally moved to block it, that it will go kind of haywire and dump all of the feedings that it missed once I free it up.
