Here is one well-rated and cheap one on Amazon. :) <><

u/CouchFace · 9 pointsr/Aquariums

If you insist on feeding them i would just load up one of these. Run it for a few days to confirm that it is feeding correctly and you should be good to go. Those feeding cubes are terrible.

u/OsbornePC · 8 pointsr/DIY

This may seem fishy, but I think it could form the basis of your solution:

u/LieutenantJB · 8 pointsr/Aquariums

I use the Fish Mate F14. It can feed up to 4 times a day for a total of 14 servings and you can specify down to the flake how much and what your fish get. I just set mine on top of the hood with the opening over a hole in the aquarium lid.

u/Remroomie91 · 7 pointsr/bettafish

Those 7 day feeder blocks aren't the best. They will make your water dirty and mess up the water quality. This can make your betta sick. If you're going away for that long, I recommend and automatic fish feeder and an outlet timer (you can get that at walmart or home depot) for your lights. Fish need a proper day/night cycle and a timer will help a lot. Keeping the lights on the whole time will stress him out. Like everyone else is suggesting, it would be better if someone can help you look after him while you're away.
Here's a link to the items I suggested:

For 3/4 days they should be fine but for your upcoming 2 week vacation this is the feeder I have and it works well. I bought one when I went on an 8 month deployment. I love my fiance but he's kinda spacey. I adjusted it to not overfeed them and then had him email me pics and water specs monthly to make sure there weren't any big problems. I've been using it full time for about a year now with no problems.

u/Ralierwe · 7 pointsr/shrimptank

Thank you!

Few additions from even more noob (less than year), with good results:

If would be nice to add some instructions for changing water when Amazonia leaches ammonia or give waiting period until this finishes without it, it takes a lot of time.

Heaters should be adjustable (not everyone without experience with aquariums realizes this), temperature on the dial is not the same as temperature in the tanks, and external temperature controller could be necessary to keep it below 83F.

Why fairly dense planting, wood, rock or shrimp shelters: shrimp are vulnerable after molting and newborns have to have place to hide.

Low light planted tank with these plants has to have low lighting, or there could be nuisance algae issues, that could be solved by reducing light intensity. Planted Tank subreddit can help.

Kind of remineralizer for RO water: GH+ for bees and crystals (soft water caridina) and GH/KH+ for neocaridina (rcs) and tigers.

KH zero for bees is not adjustable, it's absent. This usually raises a lot of questions from newbies, active substrate keeps pH stable. pH depends on choice of substrate, ADA Malaya and Africana are too acid.

pH for neocaridina and tigers: do not adjust pH, it's connected to KH that keeps it stable.

Now it dawned on me that all of this rather confusing and giving an idea about constant changing parameters in the tank instead of creating optimal for species water by using proper for them remineralizer and concentration and do not mess with water parameters one by one.

What TDS is is unknown nor newbies and that it can be measured by hand-held TDS meter, calibrated with 342 ppm calibrating solution.

And that instructions on (at lest Salty Shrimp) remineralizer are for conductivity meter, in microsiemens, twice more than ppm for TDS meter. Even experienced fish keepers missed this part and made 300 ppm TDS water.

If tap water, it should be suitable for species, tap water is not the same for people, living over limestone, and for living in New York City. Test or find GH, KH, pH, TDS online for your municipality.

Neocaridina can live in the tank with tropical temperatures and was getting noticeably less active at 20-21C for me.

RO setup and why it is necessary:

If there are unexplainable problems in the tank, and everything didn't help, switching from tap to RO water could solve them (as it did for me). More expensive than using tap water.

RO water could be bought in water dispensing machines in some stores or reverse osmosis filtration unit could be installed at home. RO filter units are available in hardware stores like Home Depot in North America, any with solid carbon core prefilter (carbon block) for chloramines is fine. Cartridges are cheap, large, and last for long. Installation instructions are in manual and online.

Purified water should be collected in the water storage container at least 10% of the tank volume.

Then there is mixing container, with air stone.

What is feeding dish, how it looks like, most convenient kind, what substitutes could be used, why it is necessary.

What is leaf litter and general rules for a feeding: feed as much as shrimp could eat in 1-2 hrs, remove uneaten food, adjust amount of feeding next time. I feed 2 times a day, pico tanks and small nanos.

Mineral stones should be checked if they affect GH, KH and pH.

How easy shrimp keeping is: do search of Shrimp Tank subreddit for shrimp die, dying, died. But eventually we will learn to keep them alive and well.

Generally I would suggest skipping, but if you're worried this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YK5W18/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

is a fantastic feeder for when you're away for long periods of time. I use it when I go TDY or whatever for work (I'm military). It has 14 individual compartments that you fill with how much food you want to feed that day and you can fill every other compartment so you feed every other day. I would suggest getting an air pump + tubing if you don't already have it so it works better (keeps it from getting clogged), but for just a few pieces of betta food it would probably be fine.

Before using it for real, I'd run it for a while to make sure it works and it's set the way you want. I thought I did and came home 2 weeks later to see that it didn't drop a single piece of food :( all my fish lived though luckily.

u/onecovfefeplease · 4 pointsr/Aquariums

I'd go pay $20 for a battery operated auto feeder. Best $20 I ever spent for my tank and this way you dont have to worry about a block feeder nuking your tank. I have never had luck with block feeders.

u/Mudungus_Fletcher · 4 pointsr/Aquariums

That is a ring worm feeder without the cone or suction cup. Got it at my LFS. Usually used with the cone to drop live or frozen foods into and let fish eat at their leisure while you control how much. I use it in this case to have a designated feeding zone for the shrimp.

Here's one on Amazon

u/tacoqueenthethird · 3 pointsr/Aquariums

I use the Eheim everyday fish feeder for when I go on vacation, and it's great! You can do multiple feedings per day, or just one at a specific time. It's also got an adjustable opening so you can leave it very small to not feed as much.

u/The-Awesome-Steve · 3 pointsr/Aquariums

I have an eheim daily feeder and I really like it, you set up multiple feelings per day and it works with both flake and pellet food. Just be careful If you use pellet, it's really easy to over feed!

I've heard good things about [this auto-feeder] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F2117I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_4&smid=A1BNS86D4V4GO1).

I've read enough horror stories about time release food spiking ammonia levels to be uncomfortable with it. I'd rather chance my buddy missing a meal than getting poisoned.

u/Zorminster · 3 pointsr/Aquariums

eheim daily feeder / air feeder as it's sometimes called.

https://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Feeder-Programmable-Automatic-Dispenser/dp/B001F2117I/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1481557630&sr=1-1&keywords=eheim+everyday+fish+feeder

Up to 4 feedings, can be used with flake (if very uniform and smaller than the opening- i crush mine up) or pellets. adjustable gate (most people open it up then tape over the opening partially for fine tuning) and you can set each feeding to rotate the drum once, or twice (after a 1 minute delay. helps slower feeders have an opportunity to get something after the more active fish feed on the first dump)

Very happy with mine so far.

u/jacopo_tarantino · 3 pointsr/Fish

I got an automatic feeder for the community tank. Sooooo worth it. EHEIM Everyday Fish Feeder Programmable Automatic Food Dispenser https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F2117I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PStDDb2KTB4EG

u/RedTabby · 3 pointsr/bettafish

This is the one we used. It seemed to work okay other than the fact that many of the pellets stuck to the walls due to the condensation build-up. However, this feeder does come with a little attachment for an air hose so you could apparently keep it dry that way but we didn't use it because our fish loved playing with his bubbles and who were we to deny him his pleasures.

I would say that it is great if you are only gone a day or two and want them to be fed everday, but anything past that it is going to get gunked up.

u/squeekypig · 3 pointsr/turtle

I'll just point out two things that no one else has yet:

  1. There are automated turtle and fish feeders that attach to the rim of the tank. Obviously they're only for pellets, not veggies, but it would be a little better than no food for a week. Here's one on Amazon, and there's links on this page to similar products


  2. I would have someone come by to check on him at least once. I don't know how old your musk is, or how big your tank is, but things could go wrong. A light could burn out, or burst/shatter, the filter or tank could start leaking, the heater could stop working or burst, etc. Chances are nothing will happen, but if something does you don't want to wait a week to find out, especially if it's a water leak.


    Enjoy your vacation!
u/khaleesi-a · 3 pointsr/bettafish

If you're willing to spend a bit of money, this feeder on Amazon has always worked well for me! I hate trying to transport my tank home when I leave my dorm, so this should work for you too if you're willing to give it a shot!

u/kay_bizzle · 3 pointsr/Aquariums

I'm pretty sure this is what you're thinking of, where the block slowly dissolves and releases food as the block shrinks. This is what I'm talking about, a cup of fish food in a gel.

u/tinybabyrn · 3 pointsr/bettafish

I have one of these: Auto fish feeder and it has served me well with my 65 gallon. You can program when it feeds, how many times it spins, and adjust how much food falls out. It wasn't too expensive and I haven't even replaced the batteries yet (in 1.5 years). ><>

u/Humdngr · 2 pointsr/Aquariums

I use this one any time I'm out of town for a few days. I had to test it a bit to get the proper amount put into the tank, but I haven't had any problems with it once I had it calibrated correctly.

u/MissCarlotta · 2 pointsr/Aquariums

How long will you be gone for?

If you are going to be gone a week or less it may be that you do not need a fish feeder. In the wild fish do not feed like they do everyday in our homes.

I have used both the Fish Mate F14 (as LieutenantJB mentioned) and the Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder.

The Fish Mate if you have larger food items like sinking algae wafer it will accommodate some of those. You are limited to 14 feedings total, meaning a max of 14 days. Flakes and small pellets can be rather messy as the divider bracket just sits on the faceplate and so small foods can escape or flakes can slide under the rotating edges. You do have more control over portion size though.

The Eheim is a fairly standard drop feeder based on how many pellets/flakes will fit through the opening which you adjust for size. This can mean that your portions are a bit irregular. It does allow up to 4 times a day drops and is fairly easy to set up as far as setting times for feeding. It will run until the food bin is empty and the food bin will hold a substantial amount. If you are going to be gone longer than 14 days or are looking for something to use every day and just worry about refilling on maintenance days this is a good option. It is not a good option for sinking algae wafers.

u/Green_Water_Warrior · 2 pointsr/bettafish

Your an get an [Automatic Fish Feeder] (https://www.amazon.com/Fish-Mate-F14-Aquarium-Feeder/dp/B000YK5W18/ref=zg_bs_2975462011_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RQ42RP6VMG2FKC37AEGR) Just get the one with individual cups like this, so you can control the exact amount of food given. In my experience tank sitter ALWAYS overfeed.

u/Yankee_F_Doodle · 2 pointsr/Cichlid

This one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NV6GLXH/

The built in battery charges with USB and goes for several months between charges. Been using it for about a month and I love it. The only tricky thing with these style of feeders is adjusting the quantity. I found by making very small adjustments and using a piece of tape to hold the adjustment flap in place I can get it where I want it.

u/LicianDragon · 2 pointsr/PlantedTank

Definitely siphon all the old food out! Keep an eye on your water parameters if you have an api master test kit.

Whoever fed the fish on Saturday needs to know how much little to feed them! If they can't and you can't find someone else then you can either fast the fish through the weekend (while giving them a bit more on Friday) or get an automatic fish feeder. I've used that exact one for years when taking month a half long trips for school and I couldn't trust my fiance to feed them well enough. Feeding amount is adjustable and very accurate as long as you're using one type of small sized fish food (ex. shrimp pellets would be too big but granules, flakes, and crisps will work fine). Set it to one feeding per day and then you won't have to worry about anyone overfeeding them! Provided they don't give them any extra while you're not there. ;)

Good luck!

I don't own one, so I'm not sure if that is the best option on amazon but that at least gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

u/LeonFish · 2 pointsr/bettafish

Agreed that she's probably fine without food for a few days, but it's your fish so...

I have this Pixnor auto feeder from Amazon. It works great and has an app you can program set times or activate the feeder remotely. I hooked mine up to alexa.

Only issue I experienced is with smaller pellet foods and the larger sized holes on the device I had to block part of the opening even after adjusting it down as far as I could in order to prevent too many pellets from exiting.

Also, i put a desiccant pack in the pellet hopper to help absorb excess moisture.

In all it worked great, but some considerations/adjusments had to me made for feeder placement, too.

u/Brotein_Pancake · 2 pointsr/Aquariums

I've been looking in to getting one now that I've got 5 tanks up and running & while I haven't used it first-hand the Eheim is highly recommended. The best tip I've heard is that in any feeder, you're better off using pellet or micro-pellets instead of flake since it's less likely to clog.

u/dly5891 · 2 pointsr/bettafish

I feed my guy twice a day with 3 pellets. Sometimes once. If you do go on vacation and need a feeder, they have automated feeders where it basically cycles through a small compartment and dispenses food. So you fill the compartments with the amount of food you want, then at the set time it just opens that compartment. Ive posted it a few times in various posts, i plan on using it when im gone during the holidays.

Edit:

u/Ka0tiK · 2 pointsr/Aquariums

The eheim auto-feeder gets decent reviews. I do caution you to not put too much food in there, just in case the feeder errors out and releases most of the food all at once.

u/doomrabbit · 2 pointsr/Aquariums

I personally use this one. Even though I am feeding the exact same amount of food, water goes nuts. It does not have a signal for the fish to know when to eat so I assume it does not always get eaten.

Reason I use this one is because you can choose exact portions and up to 14 days of feeding.

u/puffer94 · 2 pointsr/labrats

I personally own several aquariums and I love using these when I go on vacation. I have gone up to 2 weeks and came back with it having at least 20% full on a 75 gallon. Of course I wouldn't advise leaving research animals unattended that long!

https://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Feeder-Programmable-Automatic-Dispenser/dp/B001F2117I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483475753&sr=8-1&keywords=automatic+fish+feeder+eheim

Things I like about it,

  1. Battery lasts forever, I mean I have never had to replace it and I've used it for up to 1 year with a 3 times a day feeding cycle.

  2. The reservoir can hold tons of food. I use flakes as well.

  3. It is highly programmable to how you want.

    Potential Issues,

  4. I have ran issues where the hatch slowly opens as time goes on and can eventually dump too much food into the tank.
    a) I taped the hatch to the desired width and haven't had issues since.

  5. I do not know if it will fit onto the type of containment you are using.

  6. It may not the cost effective depending on the amount of tanks.

  7. You cannot really control how much food it dispenses each time.


    Good luck!
u/Penguin123 · 2 pointsr/Aquariums

I think so. Looking at this feeder you should be able to leave the aquarium in the classroom during the school year. I would obviously test the feeder before having to rely on it, but you should be ok. Also fish typically will be ok going a little while without food. One thought though, depending on how cold your classroom will get during the winter, you might want to consider buying a second heater (not a bigger heater, always safer to have multiple lower power heaters, just in case they fail ).

That would leave you with having to move the tank only for summer. This post outlines the process for moving an aquarium link.

On a separate note, I found my old regulator. I'll test it in the next week to make sure it all works, but it was fine when I packed it away. So if you want to do CO2, just PM me and I can send it off to you. I think I have a spare diffuser as well, so all you would have to buy is some hose and a tank.

u/quartapound · 2 pointsr/arduino

The part I like most about my auto-feeder setup is that it will automatically dispense food at pre-determined times, or I can manually activate a feeding if I'm in front of the tank... and it skips the next scheduled feeding. At first I was going to use a stepper motor with some kind of dispensing cup... but quickly realized it would probably be expensive, and more difficult than a 'premade' solution... so I found this ...it's dirt cheap and works well... I hacked it open and found that there's a flat part on the rotating drum that activates a switch to tell it when to stop turning (it's too cheap for stepper motor). I cut the wire going to the switch and routed it to my relay (when the relay opens it fools the feeder into thinking its not in the correct position and it begins to rotate). I also hard wired DC power to it so I don't have to worry about batteries. I use New Life Spectrum Marine 1mm sinking pellets and they have never clogged the 'trap door'

They never look mangled, they were swimming around like normal not hiding or anything.
They looked like bones which ive never seen before.

I was looking at vacation fish feeder https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001F2117I#Ask and looks very promising. The reviews say that people have left their aquarium for long time. I checked with my friends and they suggested to not set up an aquarium. The problem is that most of my friends will be gone during that period.

I want to ask if any of you guys have tried leaving your aquarium for 4-6 weeks with vacation feeder?

u/motoman247 · 1 pointr/bettafish

He should be fine for 3 days, and I would advise staying away from one of those dissolving vacation feeders, I had one crash my tank.... :( But I do recommend this automatic feeder, I have used it for a 3 week time frame with no problems, I used it on my tank with my betta and neon's in it, and my betta eats the neons food as well as his so its all good.

And if you have amazon prime there is 2 day shipping on it....might be here in time.

u/Kyneer · 1 pointr/bettafish

I recently used this automatic feeder over spring break and it worked great for my boys, I have 2 of them.

u/wallyTHEgecko · 1 pointr/Aquariums

I've used this one before. It just rotates the drum and dumps food out of a hole. You can set the time of day and how often it rotates and you can adjust the opening to allow more or less food to fall out with each feeding. You can also set it to rotate twice each time if you need a larger feeding. The drum holds a good amount of food but flakes are a bit of a pain because if it gets splashed or just too moist, they stick and don't actually fall out when they're supposed to.

u/cnot3 · 1 pointr/bettafish

I'd recommend the Eheim Everyday Feeder. I've used it for several vacations and it's been very reliable. It works fine with the smaller betta pellets.

u/turtlepower45 · 1 pointr/Aquariums

I attached one of these directly under the filter to keep my floating plants from getting pulled into the stream. Kinda ugly but it works.

u/overclocked_tanks · 1 pointr/PlantedTank

I had this problem but I’ve started spot doing seachem excel and it’s done wonders. Kills algae and the plants are going nuts.

I turn off the filter and my surface skimmed, then spot treat with seachem excel using a long syringe like the one I linked below. Wait 10 minutes and then turn on the filter and skimmer. You don’t want to get excel on your hands. Spot treating every day is the only thing that’s gotten it under control. Just simply dosing the water column didn’t work. I started with the recommended dose and then increased bit more each each day. No die off yet, except algae.

I saw someone use a vegetable clip once, something like this. Maybe if you clip the wafer/cucumber to the wall they already love eating on, they'll just stumble across it and develop a taste for it. I have no idea if it will work though. Plus, that clip is pretty expensive for what it is.

u/ElGrandeAmigo · 1 pointr/bettafish

Basically Guppy isn't great at catching food. If it's in the surface it tends to float away from where I feed and it sinks near the back of the tank. Sometimes Guppy can't see the food floating until it sinks, then she chases it but if she isn't fast enough it hits the bottom and she ignores it. So I've devised this little setup.

Basically just a floating feeding ring and a betta leaf hammock. The floating ring keeps it from floating off and the leaf catches any bits that sink. The brown granules are easily noticed by Guppy on the green leaf and she knows where exactly to stay when she's being fed!

Aside from an automatic feeder that's already been mentioned, you can buy feeding cubes that will last for a few days or more. Like these. There are many different kinds and you can get them at your LFS or PetSmart, etc.
