Out of stock | | | | | | Going out of town? Don't rely on out-of-date feeding blocks when you can use the AquaChef. It's easy to give your fish up to eight feedings a day of flake, pellet, or crumbled food. Schedule single feedings for up to four different times, use the double-feeding feature to make any of those four two feedings, sixty seconds apart, or manually override the settings if you decide to give one more feeding yourself. The AquaChef also has an adjustable hatch to control the amount of food fed and to serve as a mixing stir bar to make sure the food isn't clumped, just like you would. The moisture-resistant hopper is easy to clean and fill. Why let your fish starve when they can have their very own AquaChef? | | | | | |

 DIdnt like this Jun 18, 2010
I didnt like this but im not sure I really gave it a chance. How ever I tried several new batteries in this and it still ran as if it was gonna die. you have to crush the fish food into a powder in order for it to fall out even with the flap to open all the way. I set all 4 timers to run the feeder and nothing came out I left it on the floor for a week to see if it would spill any food from it and nothing happened. Maybe I got a defective product I donno. How ever this product should have been built better I will look else where. Also I only paid [...] for mine other wise I would have returned this.
Works well May 26, 2010
I am pretty amazed that it works very well. The wheel turns 360 degrees to release the food, and the adjust door works just fine. Though two (minor) complaints:
1 There's no way to feed two kinds of food.
My daughter has 4 turtles live in the same tank as some tropical fishes, they eat
different kind of food and food are of different size. The adjust door works for only
one. I wish it has two compartments and can distribute two different size of food
2 The whole thing is a little bit bulky, I can't install it on the back of my tank,
have to put it in the front and leave the lid open.
Otherwise it does its job very well.
Great feeder... just too much food May 21, 2010
I bought this to feed 2 zebrafish in a smaller tank. It was easy to fill, program, and works great. The only problem is the lowest setting for dispensing food is WAY to much for a smaller tank.

Why pay $45 for an Ehiem? Jan 30, 2010
This is a very well designed and reliable feeder that has only a few design flaws. With a bit of wear, the battery cover pops off easily resulting in the batteries falling out and the feeder programming getting lost. To prevent this I simply added a bit of tape :) The mounting bracket is also pretty useless unless you have a rimless tank with less than 1/2" glass, but velcro or double sided tape works just as well for mounting. The feeding is also pretty dependent on how full the hopper is if you use flake food. To get more consistent feeding amounts, I would recommend using pellet food. The battery powered operation is also kind of a problem IMO, but you can fix that easily by simply replacing the batteries with NiCad rechargeables and wiring in a 3V solar cell in parallel (edit - MAKE SURE YOU USE A DIODE!)(I don't see why feeders aren't solar powered yet - they're low power machines in high light enviornments and it would only be like a 20 cent increase in manufacturing cost... maybe this will be common in a few years?). The only other problem I can think of is that it's kind of bulky, but that problem probably seems amplified to me considering I'm running it on a 2.5 gallon nano. With these few modifications, you'll get a feeder that's more reliable than an Ehiem with a larger food capacity for half the price. Enjoy!

 AquaChef Auto Feeder Dec 15, 2009
The feeder is easy to assemble and works great. Timer and readout are clear and quick to set up. The only negative thing about this product is the design of the clamp. It didn't fit on the aquarium edge (it has to be forced on, if you want the clamp to work, but mine did not) and the foam sticky pads were not secure and could not hold the weight on to the light panel top, so it fell in the water! Too bad, otherwise a good product. I bought another timer from a retail store and that timer uses a better screw on clamp (it fits snugly and easily mounts on the edge) but it's not a digital readout and the timer is not adjustable, but it works.
