Automatic Feeders

[Canadianeh]

Do you use one? Which one that you found works best for both pellets and flakes?

eheim auto feeder is great fr both. AFS for the Apex if you have one is great to. I even use reef roids in it because it is sealed when closed.

Eheim as well, flake,pellet, reefroids, chopped algae sheets, freeze dried brine and mysis all in one big mix works well for me

Eheim for me to

that's the battery powered one. I think I am going to get that too. No one is home until after 6 pm to feed the fish so I think with this I can feed my fish twice a day.

I like the Neptune AFS but I am looking for a battery powered one so I don't have to see cable hanging on the side of the tank as that is where I am going to install a feeder just right above the feeding ring.

I found an auto feeder that looks exactly like Eheim and sell for only fraction of Eheim price. Brand name is Sungrow. Sells on azon for $15. Anyone knows if they are the same product but just different brand?

Basically the same just not name brand, but remember you get what you pay for.. could be cheaply made, eheim is a trusted brand, better check some reviews to see if it's worth it

I am just wondering if they both source from the same manufacturer, and the only thing that is different is the brand name. For the two companies to be able to sell the same product with the same details and the same look, I would think there must be some kind of arrangements in place. Otherwise, one would sue the other for counterfeiting. Just looking to see if anyone have any experience with both.

You should buy one and give a review on it for fellow tft members

I would except I have never owned the Eheim one so I cannot compare the two personally.
