jadams7 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Ok, I am debating getting an automatic fish feeder to use when I travel (which is quite often). So I am looking for some advice from some of you with experience with automatic feeders...my concern is most of the flake and dry food I would feed would just stay on the top water level and go right down into the overflow, as I would assume the feeders wouldn't drop the food underwater. I have a good bit of movement on the water surface, so am I just SOL or have you guys figured out a trick to get around this? Figured I would ask before I buy a piece of equipment I may end up not using. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read many of his articles over the years. That looks like a pretty handy little box that would do just what I need. Iv seen a couple videos where people use pvc... it drops into the pipe and floats around inside the pipe til it sinks I think I may try to rig something up like this. time to get creative!

That would work too. I forgot all about feeding rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
