Q
how many feeding days ?
feeding fish twice a day how many days will it feed fish? we are going away for 10 days and want to make sure there are enough days to feed them befor our return.
This feeder can feed up to 8 feedings per day. The desired amount of food to be dispensed can be adjusted. The amount of days on a twice a day feeding cycle would depend on the amount of food dispensed.
I've had this feeder for a couple of years and it worked great (I bought it after a weekend vacation turned into a week vacation and I came home to a fat clown loach but several fish with out fins!).

I've had this feeder for a couple of years and it worked great (I bought it after a weekend vacation turned into a week vacation and I came home to a fat clown loach but several fish with out fins!). Anyway, it worked great - until I moved last year. Now my aquarium is in the basement. There must be too much moisture in there because as I found out the hard way, the flake food got damp and by the time I noticed (the light on the tank hides the feeder) there was a bad bacteria outbreak. So just be careful.Hide
This product is pretty easy to program, but the quality is bad. You get what you pay for in this product. I had my feeder for about a year and it broke. No reason at all, just stopped working. I bought the eheim and it is much better. Spend a little more and get a better feeder. I just wish there wa...Read More

This product is a great product, espically if you are going away on business or vacation. I have a fairly large tank and this feeder has a setting to produce the amount of food that is needed for my tank. The aqua chef is very consistant on the amount of food released and is very easy to program. However the only time I use my feeder is when im going on vacation or going to be out of town. The only downside to this product is that it runs on batteries. That can be good or bad, good because if the power goes out your feeder will still drop food into the tank, bad because if you are away and the batteries die, well you do the math. But overall it is a great product!Hide
