Guide Review - Fish Mate F14 Automatic Feeder

The Fish Mate F14 Automatic Feeder is a handy little unit for feeding your tank for up to 14 days. The easy-to-use 24-hour timer provides 1-4 meals a day and allows adjustable feed quantity and timing. Slow-dispense action dispenses flake, pellet, freeze-dried or tablet foods as well as medications over a gradual 2 hour period. This can be good (gives the fish a chance to eat the food before it hits the bottom) or bad (less aggressive feeders won't get fed) depending on the critter mix in your tank. Hooking an air pump to the feeder controls moisture, keeping the food fresh and clump free.
