Trailermann Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 For me, the two choices for an auto feeder are The Plank or Apex AFS. Any opinions out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Neptune's AFS is pretty loud, but has worked fine for me when I'm out of town, so I don't care how loud it is. I haven't tried the Plank, but I believe @obrien.david.j has one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have not heard of the plank but the name and sticking with the pirate theme makes me smile 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I've got a Plank, I like it. Dead Silent. Here's a clip from it feeding today. Don't be confused, I've got the microphone turned off. Attaching so you can visually see how slow the auger goes, supporting the idea its silent. BTW, I have a 4+" eurobrace on my tank, and had to order a bigger mounting plate for it. (something like +$8) The Plank.mp4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markv Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 What fish do you have that triggered you to buy a $200 auto-feeder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost that simple. If I could, I'd do a multiple time a day feeding, but there's no way I can be consistent by hand. So I bought the plank to be a normal cycle feeder, to augment my normal "every evening" manual feeding. The original purchase was before I upgraded my display tank, and I used it to also feed the corals. I started the new display tank from scratch, and well... I'm still getting corals established - so not much to feed in that department yet. - Yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half-astronaut Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Just got one. Really nice build. First thing I've bought that's 3D printed, feels really solid and fits tightly with the mounting bracket. Got it with the reef jerky which seems to be going over well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
