Automatic Feeder?

I like the eheim feeders, they worked great the past week I was on vacation.
 
:thumbsup:Eheim it is!
 
i would suggest not feeding for 5 days.

i feel that automatic feeders should really be called 'automatic over-feeders' because IMHO they all overfeed your fish. which can cause an ammonia spike, and while you are away cause fish loss, which will cause an ammonia spike....and so on. so i dont really like the use of the things...your fish will be fine for 5 days (unless you have fish that require daily feedings)
 
Wow! Never heard of that but you must have done it to be so certain.
It makes sense that, in the wild, fish don't have regular meals served to them.
My fish are various rainbows and angels; all of them are about 2 yrs old and fat.

Can you direct me to some articles on this subject?
Thanks
 
I've heard fish will do fine up to two weeks. I was gone for 10 days and I felt the need to use a feeder. I think 5 days should be just fine with no feeder.
 
It seems to me that if you calibrate the feeder to feed the same amount you usually do by hand there should be no problem.
