" ... I had to devise my own method of attaching the feeder above a small hole in the hood of my tank. ... "
" ... The base that latches onto the fish tank does not fit the actual device that dispenses the food. ... "
" ... The clamp that attaches it to the tank didn't fit which made it unusable. ... "

" ... The part that comes off for refilling with food is extremely difficult to remove and put back on. ... It doesn't really expel that much food but I have mine set to feed my 55 gallon fish tank 4 times a day so it will satisfy my scaly pets. ... The only negative to having this automatic feeder is that you have to have a portion of the lid opened at all times so it can dispense directly into the water. ... "
" ... It almost feels like the motor inside is not capable to rotate the container or something is blocking the movement from inside. ... "
" ... Make sure that there is room on the top of your tank for it to rotate. ... The only issue i have is trying detach the food tank from the machine,. ... "
" ... The dispenser is too small to hold the koi food pellets, so the serving needed even for a weekend away was not appropriate. ... "
" ... The rest of the food remained stuck in the dispenser. ... "
" ... Only problem is the smaller pellets come out too fast even when you adjust the flow. ... "
" ... The gripper thingy was too narrow to securly attach to the edge of our very large tank. ... "
" ... The little door that dispenses the food is held in place by a micro thin piece of plastic. ... "
