Automatic Feeders And Juwel Tanks

[mark7616]

Right im going away for a week and dont really want to use a week feeder block but think im going to have to as how on earth do you fit an automatic feeder to a juewl tank with out cutting the lid apart?

Fish that are strong and healthy can survive a week without food. Feed them well until the day before you go then give them half the amount they would normally get and do a big water change and they will be fine.
I wouldnt go for the food block as its mainly ash and the fish wont eat it. It will pollute the tank and make the fish ill.
Isnt there a neighbour who you could trust to feed them? If they know nothing about fish then leave a small amount of food wrapped in foil and ask that one be given per day and that way they could maybe put the lights on and off for you to.

I will be fitting an automatic feeder for the first time soon on my Juwel Rio 300 so I haven't worked it out yet. On my Juwel Rekord 96 I put the base (sticky) part of the feeder on the solid part of the lid between the two flaps. Then when the feeder was fitted I left one of the flaps open a bit for the pellets to go in the tank. I tested it for 2 days before I went away. I blocked up the gap by sellotaping some mesh across and removed it when I got home. HTH. It worked very well.
