Hello everyone.
I have have recently purchased a Juwel automatic feeder for my Juwel Rekord 600 tank (one that it is suggested accessory for the tank) as I am going on holiday for 2 weeks soon. The feeder says it holds enough food for 30 days of feeding which is fine.
Though, I have 3 questions about it if anyone has any experience with these things...
1) I'm not sure it is feeding my fish enough. Even on the setting where they get the most food, and feeding them twice a day, it still doesn't look like nearly as much as I feed them usually.
2) I thought about getting one of those holiday stone things that slowly dissolves or fish nibble at, would this be a good idea as well as the automatic feeder?
and 3) I have several bottom feeders which I give small algae wafers. Now I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to put these in the feeder as well as I thought it could just tip them all out at once, giving them one day of fatness and another 13 of being hungry...
I have a few days before I go away (leave on the 20th) so any replies would be really helpful
. I just don't want to come home to a tank full of dead fish.
