Auto feeder advice

[Heather42]

I am going to be out of town for a week and wanted to buy an auto feeder.

I am currently using frozen Reef Frenzy Nano.

I was hoping to be able to put some New Life Spectrum in an auto feeder for just the week I am gone.


Between the EHIME and the Fish Mate F14, which is better?

I've only had the Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder and I can only tell you that I like it. Easy to program and set up. I use it for the same thing....going on vacation. The only thing I've used in mine is flake food.

Sorry, don't know anything about Fish Mate.

Thanks for letting me know!

If you go the Eheim route, just watch out for a Chinese knockoff that's very poor quality. Looks just like the Eheim (and sometimes sold as the Eheim), but without the Eheim name on the big button. The name on the box of the knockoff is something like X-Aquatics.


Here's the Eheim.....note the red lettered "Eheim" on the big button:

Here's the knockoff......no Eheim label on the big button:
