Auto-feeder advice?

[PatientZero]

I'm going on vacation for 13 days and I was thinking about getting an auto feeder for my fish. I have an ATO so I should be good there and I'll probably take off my skimmer cup so it doesn't accumulate and overflow while I'm gone.

Does anyone have any recommendations for auto-feeders?

Thanks!

Ehaim auto feeder about 30 bucks on amazon.


1.New batteries
2.Food sizes matter
- Too big clogs and no food at all,too.small like pellets might drop out too much at once.
3. Test run
-Run it with the planned foods in a container watch the amount it drops. So you can get an idea. If good put it back in and let it be.
4.Make sure it is placed where it won't fall in.
5.Place ot somewhere that there is no splashing or water that will dampen the food causing it to adhere to the inside of the dispenser.

Thanks for the offer KorL, but with the distance between us it may be easier for me to just order one with Prime. I appreciate the offer though
