FAQs
How do I set the feeding times?
Refer to the product manual for detailed instructions, but typically you'll use the function keys to set the hour and minute for each feeding time. Ensure the correct time format is selected.
What type of food can I use?
The Eheim Automatic Fish Feeder is designed for use with dry food only, such as flakes, pellets, or granules. Avoid using moist or live food.
How often should I clean the feeder?

How do I adjust the portion size?
The portion size can typically be adjusted using the function keys. Consult the manual for specific instructions on adjusting the amount of food dispensed per feeding.
What happens if the power goes out?

How long will the batteries last?
Battery life varies depending on usage, but the low battery indicator will alert you when they need to be replaced. Check the manual for more information.
Can I use this feeder for multiple tanks?
Yes, you can move the feeder between tanks, but ensure the mounting bracket is compatible with the new tank's edge. Also, be sure to reprogram the feeding schedule for each tank.
