This was at least two years ago and I don't suppose much has changed since then. After research (looking at reviews and comments) I chose the Eheim auto-feeder which is battery driven. It is only suitable for flake food and can feed this several times during the day for many days. One problem is that flake food can get damp because the feeder is above the seawater, and damp flake won't release properly. This is combatted to an extent as the Eheim incorporates a small drying device. The small drying device didn't cope however....Peter dropped the auto-feeder into the aquarium. For some strange reason it wouldn't work properly after that! <abbr><em>Johns last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AquaristsOnline/~3/545996059/" rel="nofollow">Should You Use An Automatic Fish Feeder</a></abbr></em> Well, I have never owned an auto-feeder but have looked into them for a good reason…I bought one for Peter.
