I need an autofeeder before work trip season starts for me, how do you like the plank?

It is fantastic. If you want to use the pump attachment though to make sure the food goes into the water column I don't know if it can work with the IM stock lid. I got a top lid for this tank and was disappointed (I would go with kraken for sure in the future. With this tank I feed TDO B2 pellets which don't really sink so I needed the Plank for the pump to get the food into the water. In my Larger tank I probably will just use the Eheim feeder. If I did not have that though I would buy another Plank. I really do like the flexibility to control it.

That was going to be my next question if the feeding tube was required but I have the DD feeding portal that looks like it should allow the feeder to slide right in.

I've always used the Eheim but I like how accurate the Avast is.
 
You're about to destroy your colon.
I will be very happy to follow that up with a colonoscopy.

Because as you know, colonoscopies are very important preventative measures for colorectal cancer. You can't see inside of your rectum or your colon on a typical day, but through colonoscopy, doctors CAN see the insides of your rectum and your colon, and much more. The wonderful thing about playing around with a scope in your rectum and colon* is that you can find dangerous signs of cancer like polyps and just nip those guys right in the bud right then and there!

Everyone likes being SEEN. Can't get much better than a colonoscopy for that! Don't wait to get your colon checked. Get your colon filmed today!

* Do not try this at home!

I'm actually sure you could rig up a similar feeding tube with some 3D printed parts. Basically the platform that holds the tube + clamp blocks and nylon screws for the other side of the AIO divider wall + a thin flat piece that connects the tube platform to the clamp blocks to straddle the AIO wall. Then you can have the feeding tube clamped to the AIO wall, the Plank situated above the screen netting dropping through the netting into the tube and the lid still able to sit evenly above the thin connector piece that straddles the AIO divider wall.
@AVAST Marine What do you think about that idea? @AVAST Marine I know you made a custom piece for me to attach a Plank on an IM AIO while seated above the AIO divider wall, but in the above poster's scenario, he'd want the Plank separate from the tube/pump so he can use a non-custom lid without cutout (thus also allowing flexibility with Plank placement. THANKS!

I'm trying to picture this but having a hard time. Do you have a picture of your setup by any chance?

I'm coming due for one, myself and will be posting the pics in my thread to encourage others to get theirs. It's never to early to detect cancer!
