New AFS not working

[rdnyva]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep my eye on that. I usually keep my thumb on the hole when I fill the container, but you never know.

I cleaned it good and then ran it manually 5 times with no problems. I’ll have to keep an eye on it. Right now I don’t have confidence in it to not drop a whole container of pellets in my tank.

I cleaned it out. Dry it well. No pelllets anywhere. Refilled. It worked for two days then got stuck upside down this morning.

The thing is this is the second one that Ive had the same problem with. The first at least took three years before I decided to replace it. This thing is too iffy to depend on. Not only am I not sure if my fish are getting fed, but there’s a very real possibility of a whole container of pellets being dumped in my tank.
