Does anyone has used any feeder ring in your tank? I would like to combine this with my auto feeder when I am not at home to avoid pellets going all over the place and into my overflow. I have seen some basic ones in Amazon and some others made of plastic as cup shaped.

Any experiences with these products and feeder ring recommendations?

Thanks, is I possible to know which one you used from them? I believe I read some reviews on theirs I think that the magnet started to release some metals from the magnet into the tank after a while.

@Avengerx77 TLF just makes one ring. I would be very surprised if it did rust. If it did rust you would have a free magnet ring. Contact the company and they will have to give you a new one. Just be careful putting it together and it won’t break.

When I set up my aquarium I checked the different rings. I decided to DIY it until I figured out what I wanted, but that works so well that I never bothered to buy one. Just use some 1/4” RODI tubing with an air line coupling and a suction cup.

I used the IM defroster, but I recently took it out of my tank. I just broadcast feed and prethaw out my frozen food in a container, so I didnt see the need.

Ok, will give it a look and see if it works for me

Very nice, unfortunately I pretty much suck at DIY lol so that's why I was asking.

Yes, I was looking at that one, wondering how quick the pellets will sink instead of fish going to the top to get it. I know the clownfish will not have an issue, but my royal gramma does not go all the way up when feeding. The other thing is that a lot of reviews says the plastic arrived broken.

I have both the TLF and Eheim feeder stations. Both do an excellent job. I did order the Eheim station off of amazon and got it quickly and without any damage. Either will work fine for you...
