So I bought a few of these feeders from Ali for dirt cheap. They work great, only question is on the nano, even on the lowest setting, it's still to much pellets. Any ideas on how to reduce it even further? Using the cup to track it daily for now.

Changing the chute wont matter. It seems like you would need to fill in part of the "buckets" on the auger (the white piece that rotates) in order to dispense less food. Good luck!

I was thinking about how to make a "cover" for the auger. I also noticed on my FW that it's a lot less when it's flakes so I did think about cutting the pellets with marine flakes.

All good thoughts. I think it can be done, but may take a big of experimenting.

Definitely interested if someone has a solution. Great feeder, totally ruined for me my the fact that I can't make it a reasonable amount of food for a normal sized aquarium.

There are three dots where it says it should show portion size so I might have just set it wrong. Can't seem to find a way to make one dot display though.

I found a decent video on YouTube. The three dots don't change, I was doing it correctly and it was set to the minimum. The minimum just doesn't go low enough for five fish.
