I think it's from scratch.

Check out this article:

GHL Leaks Forthcoming Auto Feeder | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

It’s been a long time coming but finally we have firm evidence that GHL will be releasing an automatic fish feeder. This detail was leaked in a graphic for GHL’s forthcoming Profilux 4e aquarium…

I noticed it has “8, 12, 24” buttons on it. I’m curious if that means it will work independently of a GHL controller as well- just press a button and it starts that program.

I’m pretty sure the mock up picture is of an existing feeder edited with the ghl branding and colors. I wouldn’t read too much into the picture.

Good catch! The photo is a SunSun feeder with some masterful photo editing to add the GHL logo. Hopefully that was the article writer taking creative liberties and not GHL.

Typical clickbait of reefbuilders xD

I actually hope they surprise us with a peltier based autofeeder for frozen foods.

Yes, I'm still waiting on my backorderd IOND and some misc things , due to covid. I'd order some ghl auto feeders in a hot minute once they released.

In the short term why not buy the ehiem auto feeder? There is a really easy DIY mod to attach a cable (I used a USB cable and cut one end off). Then plug the other USB end into a AC adaptor and control the feeder to "trigger" via a power socket.

I saw that, I have some Zacro cy-009 digital timer feeders I haven't used in a while butkeepfor . They're mini usb rechargeable. I haven't wanted to take it apart yet. Is there a way to set a regular timer program on the feeder that i can match with the programmable feeder
