Pellets are also nice to soak in prazipro if need be. If your fish are used to eating pellets already, they'll probably eat it and not think twice

Well that looks like his fault and not the Apex Feeder. Its always good not to fill up any feeder just in case treat it like an ATO . Also when loading it do it carefully.A friend of mine had a catastrophic event last night. He was away for 2 weeks. He has an Apex Neptune feeder... All was good during 2 weeks, I watched his tank for him. Made few visits to feed frozen. Auto Feeder was doing pellets daily.... He got home and started some maintenance and tried to open cap on feeder. A full load of pellets dropped into his 29 gallon tank because the plastic piece fell off over tank. He had to suck tons of pellets out and vacuum all night. As well as water change in a hurry..... Not a fan..... If I am away from my tank, I prepare plastic cups filled with portioned frozen food. I show my helper the ropes... Take Turkey baster, thaw food. Mix up and slowly drop... Never have a problem..... Good Luck....
while we are on the subject. any strong recommendations for pellet or flake food brands?
Strictly Eheim feeder with pellets does the job, once a day. Nori and frozen when I remember like once a week or month.
Only issue is to get or design a feeding ring for it to drop in, so it doesn't go straight into the overflow. Eheim has one but has a limited mounting bracket. I built one out of acrylic for center brace.
