dry food Auto-feeder recommendation

[keddre]

I know this is probably a long-shot and if it does exist is probably out of my budget, but does anyone know if there exists an auto-feeder that I can have come on hourly? The closest I could find was only programmable for up to 12 feedings, and while I could get two of them they were a little over $100 each.

Thanks

I have this one:
Eheim Battery Operated Auto Fish Feeder
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F2117...1KFK6HCRF5Q37T311&ie=UTF8&qid=1505238094&sr=1
It only feeds 4 times a day though. For $25 you could get more than one.

Do you have a neptune apex? If so, you could get their auto feeder for around $90.

If not you could try a superfeeder with a timer. You would have to find a timer that turns on hourly though.

Unfortunately I have no of those streamlined equipment.

Superfeeder is out of the budget but the same site does have a timer like that so that gets me started. Thanks

Unless someone comes around with a better recommendation, I decided I'll just keep hand feeding and eventually save up to get one of these (probably whenever my next break comes around and I can stick in a 40 hour week) -> https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/intellifeed-aquarium-fish-feeder-lifegard-aquatics.html

what are you feeding that requires hourly feedings?

I have tunicates, feather dusters and flame scallops that need the water food-rich 24/7 and ever since I added the tunicate it seems that my water has been clearing up faster than usual, so I wanted to add a feeder with that capability and roll it back; rather than getting one not powerful enough and having to buy a new one. Also this will make it easier as I start getting more filter feeders
