Westfield Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Am taking a couple 7-14 day trips Have a coral only aka no fish tank Feeding Coral Frenzy (real fine) and Coral Frenzy .5mm pellets Can probably get by with "real fine" Are there any "good" auto feeders. My coral are used to every 3 day feeding Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07s197 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I just bought the Eheim everyday feeder for my upcoming vacation. Haven't used it yet though. One of the PA staff stated that they sell a lot of them. Good reviews too on BRS. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I've had good luck with a couple of these and they've worked a good 3-4 years. For it to be more effective with food a "chimney" helps but would be required for the coral food. http://www.melevsreef.com/catalog/eheim-apex-auto-feeder-chimney If you did not dump the coral food into this chimney think the good majority of it would get sucked down into overflow and skimmed out before even seeing coral.

Luke33 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have an eheim and it works well just like all eheim products. That matched with Dustin's chimney and it should work pretty well. I have never seen the chimney thing before but that is a nice touch and easy and effective. Doesn't work with eurobracing though : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 this will also work I have one on mine and it keeps the flake from going over the overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07s197 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I will be using this in conjunction with the ehiem feeder. It is similar to the items above. I have never fed flake so I picked this up to keep it out of my overflow as mentioned. http://premiumaquatics.com/products/innovative-marine-gourmet-defroster.html Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRYFIN Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just ordered an apex feeder from Jeremy, will let you know how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRYFIN Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just put the APEX feeder on the tank and is was so easy to do, even for a computer illiterate like me. Had to modify the mounting a little bit to accommodate the glass width on the rim of my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Interval, number of times, even days of week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRYFIN Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yeah, there are several settings available and programming through Fusion looks pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
