Holy cow, that’s awesome, I had no idea that was an option! I fudged mine by setting it as a dosing pump with a rate of 60 mL/min and then setting the feed amounts to the number of mL that corresponds to the number of seconds I wanted. Your way is cleaner.
I leave all the pumps running - the feeder is at one end of a 8' tank and very little (if any) makes it to the other end anyway.those people that use a auto feeder with im assuming Pellets.. what do you do ..... turn off all pumps so they dont go in overflow and float around.. or have a feeding ring so they float in a ring until they sink???? my fish dont eat pellets i wish they did.....
Freeze dried better than pellets? It sinks immediately. It doesn't float like pellets? I tried a test pellet or two in my tank. Dropped em in and they just float at top and then make their way to my overflow lol. Fish don't even see itI just leave everything on and have a mix of different freeze dried stuff in there. Works great, very little gets in the overflow. The output of the plank is right next to a powerhead so food gets nicely distributed.
I use New Life Spectrum pellets (https://www.feedspectrum.com/products/nlsmarinefish) in an eheim feeder. It's a very easy DIY to convert the ehiem to work on the Profilux (if you want to be able to trigger a feed using a maint mode or feed mode button).Anyone ever drop freeze dried in a ring so it just sits floating until it finally drops?? I'm trying to find a alternate route of feeding fish while on vaca. Lrs frozen works daily but if I'm gone 10 days. I'm counting on house sitters but I'd love to have a auto feeder. Except I tried putting like 4 pellets in a ring on top of tank and all 7 fish ignore them and they sink to barebottom and get lost in tank lol. Divas.
I'd have to hook it up because I want my powerheads off probablyI find it pretty good - although I have never weighed each rotation. Without hooking it up to the Profilux you can program for up to 4 drops each day (and whatever times you want) - and each time can have 1 or 2 rotations
