Anybody know about any good auto feeders? Nobody seems to like them but I'm gonna be gone a lot in the fall and am having trouble lining up anyone to stop by while I'm gone.

I'm going to be gone 10 days and then 9 with only 2 weeks between trips, so I don't want to leave them alone.

Remember that it is not necessary to feed your fish every day. See if you can get someone to come by once or twice a week to feed the fish and top off the aquarium with water in your absence.

That's usually what I do but one of my two trained feeding friends left town and I have two trip pretty close together.

I think I'll try a feeder since I have a little time.

I've purchased two automatic feeders and now prefer not to use them.

I've been lucky with good neighbours and family members plus food measured out and put in film canisters (plastic pots with lids).

I know my fish would be OK without food for a couple of weeks because this once had to happen early in my fishkeeping career.

what didn't you like about them?
 
Cost, setup and reliability of operation including quantity consistency.
 
I’m using this Juwel Smart Feed. Won’t work for small tanks because the smallest portion is substantial, but for a bigger tank it gives you a lot of flexibility. Freely available in Central Europe.

I bought one of these. It worked ok with small pellets. I usually let the fish go without but was gone on two 9 day trips with only a week between.
