automatic fish feeders?

[Alex Burr]

Wanted some feedback on people who have used automatic fish feeders.

What are some good ones? I was looking at the Eheim 3581.

Anyone bought any of those Asian knock off ones on Ebay (eg. Resun brand). They are less than half the price and look exactly the same.

Thank you.

I'm sure any will do, as it just rotates around all day and drops food 2x. I have one somewhere, but i tend to feed my fish at night when I get back home, instead of using an auto feeder.

what fish do you have?

I would avoid them. Healthy fish can go at least a week without food, and if your automatic feeder screws up it could kill all your fish by polluting your water.
