LCD Timer Feeder
A dial for portion size, not just a timer.
Most feeders let you set when. The adjustable outlet here lets you set how much, which is the setting that actually decides whether a tank stays clean while you are away.
Taxes calculated at checkout
- Adjustable outlet sets portion size
- LCD with mode, adjust and set buttons
- Two AAA cells, no mains adapter
- Clamp fits most tank rims and lids
- Rotating drum handles flake and pellet
Why you'll love it
Made for happy, healthy pets
Frequency without portion control is half a feeder
Timers that only set the clock still tip a full drum each time. An adjustable outlet is what stops a week away turning into a week of overfeeding and an ammonia spike.
Batteries beat mains here
A mains feeder means an adapter matched to your country sitting above an open tank. Two AAA cells sidestep the whole question and last months.
Set it while you are still home
Run it for two days before you travel and watch what actually falls in. Every automatic feeder needs calibrating once, and the time to find that out is not from a hotel.
Good fit if
- Getting the portion right rather than approximately right
- Tanks where a mains adapter would be awkward to route
- Rims and lids that take a screw clamp
- Flake, pellet and granule alike
Look elsewhere if
- You want a rechargeable unit rather than disposable cells
- Your lid has no flat edge for a screw clamp
- You need more than a basic daily schedule
Portion is the setting that matters
Timing is easy to get right and hard to get wrong. Portion is the opposite. A feeder set generously delivers the surplus every day, and by the end of a fortnight the tank has taken a substantial amount of food it never ate, all of which has broken down into ammonia and then nitrate.
An adjustable outlet lets you dial that down to what the fish clear in about two minutes. Set it, watch a full cycle, and adjust. It will feel like too little, and that is almost always correct, because the amount fish actually need is smaller than it appears when it is spread over a water surface.
Batteries rather than mains
Two AAA cells sidesteps the whole question of adapters, plug standards and finding a socket near the tank. It also means no mains cable running to the top of an aquarium, which is one fewer thing to route safely around water.
The trade-off is remembering. Cells give little warning before they fail, and a feeder that stops on day four of a fortnight is worse than none at all because you have not arranged any alternative. Change them before every trip regardless of how much life you think is left.
Flake, damp and the drum
A rotating drum handles flake better than a simple sliding hatch, because the rotation breaks up what has settled rather than relying on it falling. It still cannot cope with genuinely damp flake, which swells and packs against the outlet until nothing comes out.
Keep the lid closed so less humid air reaches the hopper, mount the unit clear of the water surface, and consider switching to pellet before a long absence. Pellet flows more reliably and holds together in damp air, which removes the single most common cause of a feeder failing mid-holiday.

Between trips
Empty the drum and wipe it dry rather than leaving food sitting in it for months. Stale food loses vitamin content and packs harder against the outlet, so a hopper filled in March and relied on in August is delivering something considerably worse than fresh.
Take the cells out for long storage so a leak cannot ruin the contacts, and check the clamp screw has not worked loose on the rim. Run the feeder for a few days before each trip rather than trusting a unit that has been in a cupboard since the last holiday.
Good questions
Before you buy
No. It takes two AAA cells, and it is worth putting fresh ones in before a trip rather than trusting whatever is in there.
Flake is the food most likely to bridge in any feeder. Fill the drum no more than two-thirds and run it for a couple of days before you rely on it.
The clamp needs an edge to grip and clearance below for food to fall. On a fully hooded tank use the tank-side digital feeder instead, which hangs inside the glass.
No, two AAA cells are separate. Fit fresh ones before every trip rather than relying on whatever is in there, since they give very little warning before failing.
It can if the flake gets damp. The rotating drum handles flake better than a sliding hatch, but keeping the tank lid closed and switching to pellet before a long trip is the reliable fix.
It screw-clamps to a rim or a lid, so it needs a flat edge to grip and clear space above. On a fully hooded tank a slim tank-side feeder is the better option.
