I am going to be traveling for a week and was thinking about getting an automatic feeder for when I am gone. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions using a feeder?

I bought an ehiem automatic feeder. Expensive of course - i got it on ebay for 60.00 - i think around 100.00 on-line. I went with eheim just because of rep and i could use two different foods - wafers and flake. I use it when i am going to be gone 3 days or more. It has worked well for me. Dr Fosters and Smith usually have a good selection and usually some always seem to be on sale. I remove the batteries from mine when not using and put in new each time i use - since i use rechargables.

Looks like we lost some messages. Recap, I decided to order a couple of ehiem feeders. There was a definite difference in opinion regarding feeders, but the ehiem seem to have a good rep. I will practice for a couple of weeks and if all is not well I will ask for help from the neighbors.

Thanks to all for the input.
