Wifi controlled auto fish feeder

[revhtree Verified Admin]

I think I saw this somewhere before.

I need a wifi controlled fish feeder for when I am out of town. Do they make them?

I got most everything controllable with my ipad and iphone as well as can view the tank with a wifi camera. But now I need a way to feed instead of just trusting an autofeeder to do the job, I want to do and see it from wherever I am.

That is the one I've been thinking about getting to run through my Apex....can't talk myself into it since I just bought the Eheim dual feeder though.

So have you used that one Gamble?

Yeah... I used to have one for a fresh water tank with tropheus that needed to be feed multiple times a day and they always splashed when fed. The eheim that I had always clogged up from the moisture and the super feeder has the moisture shield. I haven't gotten one for my reef tank, but plan on it since it runs off a plug and would work well on a controller. Nice setup for sure, you can adjust the amount of food per feeding and it's relatively precise.

I've been using the Superfeeder for about a year now with my Apex and have never had an issue with it.

I've got the Superfeeder and an Apex and it works great. It is best to program a feed cycle that kills the return pumps a minute prior to having the feeder come on, then turn the pumps on a few minutes after feeding. This gives the fish a chance to get the food. I found that without me standing there to feed the fish, they didn't have a queue that it was feeding time.

I had mine set to handle feedings all the time (even when I was home). However, your fish will begin to ignore you when you get close to the tank since you are no longer the hand that is feeding them. This is good from a more "natural" behavior standpoint...but also more difficult to keep tabs on your fish and their heath since they no longer come out to feed when you are standing there.

How large is the Superfeeder? I've read that it's huge compared to other automated feeders, but I've never seen any info on actual dimensions.
