Both. My automatic feeder feeds new life spectrum pellets twice a day.
In the evening I usually put a cube of frozen in.
I printed this a while back to just drop the cube in as the water spins it, it feeds the frozen cube out over the course of a few minutes.
Every couple days I broadcast feed benereef powder
lol nice. But what auto feeder do you use. Thinking about getting one.I use these for auto feeder:
Neptune Apex AFSlol nice. But what auto feeder do you use. Thinking about getting one.
I've got a cheap Amazon feeder that I was planning on upgrading at some point, but it works reliably and keeps the food dry (I've filled it up to a 3 week supply before). If I were to upgrade now, I'd probably look at Eheim or another name brand.Ok so those who use auto feeders for pellets what product do you suggest? One that you found easy to set up and more importantly reliable. I use Hikari Seaweed Extreme and Hikari Marine A pellets when I feed pellets.
Only manual - since I want to know what's up - and no failures. If I'm away a house sitter feeds measured amounts each day.Just wondering what others are doing for feeding regimens?
I feed manually in the evening and I have an automatic feeder to tend to feeding in my absence.
How many are feeding manually Only or Automatically Only and what is your purpose for choosing your method?
I go AUTO, because honestly... I am LAZY...lol I use a smart feeder I found on Amazon ($35.00)...automate it via AlexaJust wondering what others are doing for feeding regimens?

Have you tested what happens if you lose internet connection? Does the feeder stop dispensing all-together or does it stay on schedule?I go AUTO, because honestly... I am LAZY...lol I use a smart feeder I found on Amazon ($35.00)...automate it via Alexa
With apex, mine stays on scheduleHave you tested what happens if you lose internet connection? Does the feeder stop dispensing all-together or does it stay on schedule?
It keeps everything in memory. Whenever I do any type of intank maintenance (Which is almost daily recently), I take the feeder down, (Sometimes I forget to put it back on), but when I do plug it back, the schedule continues until the trigger time period for me its ONCE a day at night. I use the "SMART LIFE" app and sometimes "Alexa schedules.Have you tested what happens if you lose internet connection? Does the feeder stop dispensing all-together or does it stay on schedule?
Nice! Is the product still on Amazon? I have feeding modes programmed into my GHL and some smart plugs, but have to program the feeder to match the time (waiting for the day when the batteries start to die and it gets off schedule)It keeps everything in memory.

I love my 2 clowns! I can’t wait till I have my own house and can get a large tank. Maybe 10 times the size I have now would be nice.Interaction is Key. Im home today and have a Neptune AFS that feeds during the day and it was refreshing to visit the fish and inspect them and watch them attack the dry food
Eheim 100% the only one I trust.Ok so those who use auto feeders for pellets what product do you suggest? One that you found easy to set up and more importantly reliable. I use Hikari Seaweed Extreme and Hikari Marine A pellets when I feed pellets.

How do you have the Eheim connected to your Profilux? Is there a specific model and accessory needed?Eheim 100% the only one I trust.
I have two at opposite ends of the tank that feed alternately (controlled by Profilux)
I've left the tank for 8 weeks whilst travelling running autofeed with no problems.
