I am considering buying an automatic feeder. I am interested in opinions about brands that work well. I would like to have at least a 7-day feed cycle. Twice that would be good for 2x per day. I suppose that it is important to have a moisture-proof seal. What type of food can be used other than flake? I can go either with battery powered or electric. I can mount it either on the plastic rim of my 90g tank or, perhaps, to the inside of my wood tank cover/canopy.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hagen has been a fairly reliable name so I think this would be a good one, the only thing it doesnt speak of is the air pump hook up for keeping the food dry

This one does have the airpump hook up to keep the food dry, I think this is an important feature to have. I also think battery powered or atleast backup is an important feature.

I would probably stay away from the cheap ones that are like $25 bux cuz they look cheap (get wat u pay for) or you have to buy a timer...some of them dont even tell you!...Get a good one that will last a while cuz im sure you will want to use it again. Plus its obvious not alot of ppl have tried these (no responses) So you could give us some reviews I would definately be interested in buying one, but would appreciate it if you could be the guinea pig for me

Thanks for your comments. I'll let you know what I do.

some will require you to hook up an air pump to them to keep the moisture out or they will clog if you dont. i got one like that and never bothered to run the air pump. i just returned it.

I ordered the Eheim digital unit from DrsFosterSmith . Best price I could find. We'll see how it works.
