1. The food might cake together from the heat of the lamps, it is possible to disturb the working of the device.
2. The food needs to be stored at room temperature, the heat of the lamps will cause the vitamines to break down.
3. Every week fishes need to get a day of fast. Also 2 days a week it's important you give your fish frozen food to keep them in optimal health.
Feed your fish by hand each day 1 time and use the weekend or vacation food if your out.
Question: Is there a problem with the fish food missing the box and openning or does the constant rotation ensure food always gets thru the hole and into the tank?
The device feeds one time each 12 hours until battery runs out of energy.
My fish needs different food: chips, flakes and small sand food.
Do you have any idea to make the same kind of feeder for different food types?
