I use an automatic feeder on my bedroom tank. The tank is massively
aerated and the bubbles would normally cause the feeder to clog with moist food but I fixed it so that would never happen now by having the automatic feeder suspended 14 inches above the tank surface and this feeder (a cheap penn-plax daily double) works perfectly since I have been doing that. I've thought about trying to get an invention patent but decided the solution is so simple and the public domain would be helped so much by it that I cancelled the idea. I just clamp the feeder to a long 5 inch wide 1/16 inch thick piece of glass leaning against the aquarium so that the automatic feeder is 14-15 inches about the tank's water surface. Works perfectly and am planning on using these automatic feeders with my 2 bigger tanks as soon as I find a clamp of some kind safe to use on glass and I will order some acrylic panes that will act as a suspender so I don't have to get too much of a suspender and also to reduce earthquake worries shaking the automatic feeder off of being over the tank. Later! |
