I use the Apex AFS now but I used the Eheim one in the past and it was fine.

If coming to the meeting I have several eheim I will sell. Used once for a vacation trip last year.
I had like 20 tanks including a bunch of just clown pairs that needed lots of feedings. Sold many of them, but a few left

I only use the eheim no problems.

I have a digotal one I got from Amazon that I only use when I go on vacations. I used to use the eheim but I lost it.

Eheim but I've really wanted to try the sera x feeder. It's a small auger style for pretty high precision, like the avast but smaller cheaper and not as nicely made

Few years ago picked up a rechargeable one from Amazon. Zacro - dispenses food every 12, 24 or 48 hours based on the time you turn it on. Was only $15 and serves the purpose for me.

I have to say I love the Avast feeder. The auger style is so precise with feedings. I feed freeze dried 4 times a day and every time I know I am getting the same amount each time. I throw in a concoction of freeze dried foods and mix it up in the canister. Fish know when feeding times are as well as they hang around the drop tube in the tank at the times it’s set to feed.

I use Eheim but but am tempted by those Avast feeders. I'll probably pick up a couple this summer.

There is also this style where the food is dispensed over the course of an hour. It works great but the most aggressive eaters will basically get all the food.

The eheim style have problem dispensing flakes consistently. But it works great for pellets.
