Guide Review - Nutramatic Automatic Feeder

The Rainbow Lifegard Auto Feeder is an easy to use automatic feeder which can dispense either flake or pellet foods one to 4 times per day. This unit runs off of standard house current, so you never have to worry about replacing batteries. If it is used in a high humidity climate, the lack of moisture protection could be a problem if the optional food hopper is used. If you do not vary the type of food you feed to your tank critters, the use of the hopper would be a good way to make sure that your feeding ritual is taken care of automatically for long periods of time.

Not worth it, Member cabineyes

I have now owned two of these feeders in the past 5 months and they have both broken. They work great for a few weekends and then just stop working. Also, I have a 125 gallon aquarium and this unit does not mount to the aquarium; the bracket is too narrow.
