I'm sorry I never realized this! I don't think anyone has mentioned it until now. I'm planning a video update to go over timer options, so I'll be sure to put that in for the Sicce upgrade.

Yes, the video for upgrading would be ideal. It was weird not having instructions, and as you can see, I totally missed a piece.
In case anyone's interested in picking up a Plank feeder at a really good discount, I just added a few Factory 2nds to the website. Their discount will stack with the 15% off holiday weekend sale that lasts through tonight.

Just some positive feedback, the upgrade from V2 to V3 (I think, whichever had the Sicce pump) was great!!! Made a good thing into a great thing! Much more even drop of food from the tube.

Glad to hear it. I am really happy with the Sicce upgrade as well.
What would you like to see next?
Only thing I find myself wanting on the plank is a way to hang a desiccant inside the keg to absorb moisture (similar to what you put in the reef jerky package).
You know, I actually thought about that way back when designing the first iterations, but I never really had a problem with food getting too humid so I forgot about it. I can see where others might though, and it should be pretty trivial to build a little shelf or pocket into the lid that would hold the dry pack that comes in the bag of reef jerky. I’ll put that on my todo list. Thanks for the feedback!
even a clip attached to the lid would prob do the job. I occasionally will get a little clumping after about a month of stuff in there, nothing major. I just dump it out what's left and brush with a toothbrush whenever I'm refilling.
Anymore Factory 2nds available?In case anyone's interested in picking up a Plank feeder at a really good discount, I just added a few Factory 2nds to the website. Their discount will stack with the 15% off holiday weekend sale that lasts through tonight.

On their website, if you view all products, you can scroll to the factory seconds Plank. Hit notify me when available. That's how I picked up my plank at a discount. I just had to be patient for a while.Anymore Factory 2nds available?
I just posted a few of these last night- there's one left as of right now. And they're just me being very particular- you might not be able to tell the difference from a normal one

I would actually like to see a removable cover for the plank feeder to that i dont get algae growing and plugging the well by blocking the light.
Need to measure my euro brace tonight and eurobrace drop depth to get a spacer. Will likely get a slightly extended tube too. So glad there will be no food going straight into the overflow.
