Auto feeder

[Liam's tank]

Is there an auto feeder for the IM 25 gallon lagoon? There is obviously a lid on the tank & I can't seem to find anything that takes that into consideration. I am going to be gone for a week and need a solution. Thank you in advance for any ideas!

Would an avast plank work for your tank?

I don't think so, my top is a framed mesh. It is also a bit of overkill for something I will only need 2 weeks out of the year.
Thank you for the suggestion though.

I framed around the auto feeder, just enough for food to drop.

I use feeding portals to add foods manually through the mesh as well.

My issue is that I can't attach anything to the tank glass due to the aquarium top. It's an IM 25 lagoon that has a top that fits snug all the way around. The frame is about 1 1/4 inches wide on all 4 sides of the tank that frames out the screen that is the tanks "lid". Is there something out there that would attach to the back overflow & extend far enough out to reach the tank?

I’m not sure what mesh Lid you have, I have the Red Sea one and it came with a kit to go around the overflow box.

It also has “kits” for leaving openings for auto feeders, lights, and anything else we attach to the glass.

I have an Eheim auto feeder that I just rest of top of my lid when needed.

I had to create a light mount for my 2 Tuna Blue A80s. That also made a home for my auto feeder.

I have Four of the Petbanks, some are six years old and still going strong. Also I took a Pure Leaf Ice Tea Bottle and cut it to make a short funnel, so the food drops into the Aquarium.

This looks like it will work! It says that it has a second mounting option that will allow me to place the base directly onto my frame. Thank you!

Worst case, you can get the battery powered Eheim autofeeder, a small piece of rigid plastic and put the plastic on a corner of the tank and the Eheim on top with the opening over the edge of the plastic "platform". Would work OK in a pinch. There's enough margin on the IM lids to make a stable area to sit the plastic platform.
