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.

I use eheim auto feeders, mine are about 5 years old and have worked well for me, I only use them a week or two every year.

i have 2 of these. it can feed up to 6 times a day. I used them during a 46-day trip feeding 2-3 times a day. never missed a feeding, but i used pellet. not sure how well it would perform with flake cuz the feeding hole size that fits for me fish number is super small. if you have a lot of fish then i think you can use the larger holes and flake may fit in fine

Eheim is good. That's where I started.
Now I use an avast marine plank which is really a fantastic device. Not sure that it would work with flakes though. The fish really like his freeze dried mix.

I have the eheim on a nano, no complaints using TDO pellets.

I have two avast planks on the 75 and 60 feeding DIY reef jerky 9 times a day. Love these, but you will need a programable outlet or a controller. I use robo-tank and control them with that.

The planks were a little pricey. I love the feed tube- if the plank mini had one that would have been my choice, but without a feed tube I couldn't justify it for the nano.
