We are going out of town and have an automatic feeder. It doesn't seem to work right though because water gets into where the food is and the food begins to stick together and mold. Any suggestions.

Can you raise it farther away from the tank...perhaps place it on a block of wood?

Alright new question. It has a knob to adjust 12 hrs and 24hrs. I realize it is automatic but how does it know when it is time to release food.

COBettaCouple

what brand & model is it? it may be that you set it to either drop food every 12 hrs or every 24 hrs.

swords3711

Yes. We are asking how would it know that it drops ever 12 or 24 hrs

Dino

Internal spring mechanism.

Or in the case of some, a battery.

COBettaCouple

yea, it depends on what kind it is.
