As i said in the title...,

This is the best automatic feeder, you will love it.., its extremelly easy to set up, just adjust the hour, and done, you can setup 4 times to feed, you can also can adjust the feeder to feed 2 times for every turn (with 1 minute of difference), also it have a "force" button, to feed manually, without disturb the programmed times.

The compartiment is regulable so you can adjust the amount of food, that will be released in every turn..., its powered by 2AA batteries.

I didn't found at the time something bad, or any problems related to the humidity or moisture.

We purchased this feeder for those times when we're away from home and our 38 gallon fish tank. I set it up (quite easy) and tested it for a week before we left - worked great. I DID have to tape a piece of plastic (curved, from a soda bottle) against the edge of the hole in the lid of the tank, where the food is dispensed. Some of the food was ejecting over the edge and this simple "fix" guided the excess food into the tank instead of onto the floor. I think this was because our lid has a rather small opening - not a fault of the feeder.
It worked flawlessly while we were away - no problems with wet food or hangups. I also like the fact that it's battery operated - no need to worry about a power outage.

This review is from: Eheim Feed-Air Fish Feeder Everyday Unit (Electronics)

I had a cheaper feeder on my 30 gal tank. I put more fish in the tank than the feeder could feed. Because this feeder has the option to feed twice in a row, I am able to feed all my fish. My old feeder has a skinny drum with a dispenser centrally located. This one has a wide drum with the dispenser off to the side. This means that the amount of food my fish get depends, in part, on the amount of food left in the drum. Eventually food has to be added before the drum empties. My old feeder can empty the drum on it's own. Another problem with the position of the dispense is that is dumps food over a wide ark. I had to put up a foil deflector to keep the food off the floor and in the tank.

My old feeder also had a clamp to hold it to my tank. This one does not. Now I have to move the feeder every time I open the tank.

I found a feeder on here that seems to combine the good features of both of my feeders but I have not used it.AquaChef Automatic Aquarium Fish Feeder - 3 in. x 5 14 in. x 3 in.

I love having a feeder. I use it when I am home or not. It does not take away from my ability to feed my fish on my own. It just makes sure my fish are fed without me having to bother with it.
