Use of Auto Feeders when Not on vacation

[jlbfish]

Any opinions? I got one with my 75 gallon off CL. Not sure weather I should sell it or use it. Thanks!

I tried one of the Eheim auto feeders and it didn't release enough food for my 36 gallon tropical community tank. I personally prefer to manually feed my fish 1) because it's fun, 2) I give a variety of different foods 3) I want to make sure they get enough/not too much.

Feeding fish is the most interactive you can get with your fish each day. An auto feeder eliminates that small connection.

I'd only use one as a last resort.

Good point. I love feeding those guys. I'm selling it. Thanks!

Manually feeding them allows to keep an eye on them, who's eating, who isn't, is everyone accounted for, etc.
