Automatic fish feeder

Hi I just bought the eheim everyday fish feeder but my pellets for my clowns are to small so I am returning it, is there another automatic feeder were you can chose the amount of food that goes in and do automatic feeders work for you thanks

I've had both of the Eheims and I use the small NLS pellets w/out any issues, I think they presently make the best feeders

You could always make the opening smaller with scotch tape.

That's a really good idea. BTW I just got the AFS from Neptune Systems. I am using NLS pellets too. Works great.

also this.

I use one for pellets in my display tank, another for brine shrimp eggs to the hatcher and one for pellets on my QT tank or frag tank. I use the smallest pellets and just tape off the opening till it lets out the right amount.
