Recommend an automatic food feeder to dispense wet/dry food

hey Forum.

I'm not sure if such automatic food feeder exists.

I'm looking for one that I can use to feed dry food or liquid food (For ex: dry cyclopeeze soaked in DT water and placed in dispenser; same goes for brine shrimp soaked in garlic).

I find by soaking the food first, it doesn't float and stay on top of the water column and will actually start sinking where the fish have easier access to.

Thanks

Although I've seen DIY projects, I haven't seen a commercially available feeder that refrigerates food. For the dry cyclopseeze, a feeder that dispenses powdered food into a feeding ring or down a half submerged acrylic tube would allow the food to absorb water and sink.

for dry food there are many. i personally use Eheim feeders but for wet you will need do design one. i do have one made out of a dorm fridge with autodoser. i use arctipods and tiggerpods.
here is what it looks like.
