I need a good auto feeder for my 28g. It is to house 12 neon tetra, 2 german blue ram and 4 ottos. I read about the eheim ones, but seems as though their small portion is still too much food for a small tank
I use the Fish Mate F14 feeder. It's nice because there is a compartment for each day. You fill it with the amount of food you want dumped into the tank. There is no chance of overfeeding. The physical design may be an issue for some setups.

I use flakes and pellets, no problems. I use it for vacay feeder, not every day. I suppose it may jam if humidity is high if the feeder is very close to the surface or you have a bubbler close to it. There is an airline connection to it to provide positive pressure in the feeder to prevent excess humidity. I do connect it to a pump. Again, zero chance of overfeeding which is what I was looking for. I have 2 of them.

That makes me very comfortable with buying this unit. I will be using it every day though. What exactly do you mean by an air line connection? Am I going to have to buy a separate pump? I want to avoid loud equipment.
Do a search here for f14 and you will see a thread for vacay feeder block. On the 3rd page are pictures showing the airline connection. It optional, you don't have to use it.
