What auto-feeder do you use for flake/pellets?

Wondering what is a good simple auto feeder for pellets and flakes.

An AFS. But I just got a plank and haven’t hooked it up yet though.

Eheim are very reliable.

I forgot. I also have an Ind frozen fish food feeder.

I use the eheim feeders on my tanks, very reliable.

Same, Eheim. There are Eheim knock offs on Amazon I may also try.

I found this on Amazon. I use it on my observation tanks and now also my planted tank. (Anyone want the plants and fresh water fish?). This thing is bulletproof. I forgot about this one. I may go and buy a few more.

I use the plank feeder, but not so much for pellets/flake…mostly for freeze dried mysis.

I have also used the eheim feeders in the past and they work well.

If you need a bit more control over the amount you are feeding and the timing, the Plank is also worthy of a look.

Are those still being sold? I tried to get some info about them but could not find much. I would absolutely buy one if it were available and worked well!

Yeah, they are. They sell out in a day or two. But it sounds like they have increased production. I’m going to be picking up a second unit for a new system I’m likely going to regret setting up, since I consolidated down to 1 system, but, I have my reasons :) as for the feeder, I freaking love it. I feed 5 times a day with this. I feed rods, and have no issues. I did have an issue on day 2, their customer service is incredible. Focustronic should take a lesson from Ind, I have total confidence in them. I clean it every other refil. Fish are now trained. When the flow shuts off, that’s like the food lady ringing the triangle to them.
