Looking for Automatic Feeder Recommendations

[razord]

I'm going away in a few weeks for 7 days and want to set up an automated feeder. I'm a bit nervous about this and wanted to get some feedback from you guys. Product recommendation, tips, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Eheim

I also have the Apex auto feed and the Eheim is every bit as reliable, except for periodically needing batteries.

I'm using the eihiem...
Works well and can programme up to 4 feeds per day.. i use just one feed for when I'm at work and do a manual feed in the evening....
Good so far.. only thing i have done as recommended elsewhere was to use a piece of tape to make sure that the setting u choose for the amount u want to feed stays secure, other people have stated that the latch can sometimes open on its own which results in over feed... So i have just taped it in place and been happy with it.

1+ on Eheim. Been using one for 1 1/2 years as regular feeder.

Thanks! That Eheim is the one I was initially looking at so I'm glad to see it's recommended.

It's good... I programme an extra feeding for when I'm away overnight... No issues at all. Just tape up the latch once u know how much u want to feed... Ull know what i mean when u see it.. if u don't know what i mean now.

I got the eheim when I went on vacation. After that I just left it up for the next few years. My anthias loved the constant feeding. I ended up picking up the bigger Eheim for the next tank.

I am using eheim twin feeder. It is a bit pricey but you can set it to feed two different foods. I used it up to 3 weeks when I was on holiday. A friend was coming an checking the ato just in case, but neither that not the feeder required human input for 3 weeks.

+1 on taping the opening so less food drops.
Other then this I love my eheim feeder. In fact, I bought the neptune feeder, and went back to the eheim!
