Auto feeders

[mucky1957]

Hi,

We are going away for 3 weeks and I want to try and find an auto feeder that will keep the babies alive.
I do have friends close by who will come in and top up and clean the glass but I can't expect them to come 3 times a day to feed the fish.
I have 3 wreck fish, 2 nemos and an algae blennie.
I usually feed flake but I do have small pellets as well.
I need a plug in feeder with timer that will allow me to feed three times a day without dumping all the food into the tank in one go.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.

Flake and some pellets work well in Eheim auto feeders.

I want a feeder that will last for the 3 weeks we are away without it having to be refilled. Am happy to use pellets.

Ehiem is a very popular auto feeder.

I've used the ehiem feeders when I vacationed. I also used some cheap one from Amazon that worked just as well. I love my plank that I have now but it's overkill if you just need a feeder for vacations. TBH the ehiem is easier than the plank to use because everything is on all on the unit so no need for addition timers or controller like the plank requires.

Plank imo is easily the best. With others, most of the food just goes down the overflow

Not if you deliver it into a floating ring. That is how I use them.
