Eheim Auto feeder
So I purchased an Eheim auto feeder a few weeks ago and have been excited about it due to the fact that I work so much and aren't always home at predictable feeding hours...After a couple trial and error food dumps I settled on two clicks open using NLS 1mm pellets...Anything more than that dumped a large amount of food that I had to later vacuum out...Well last week i forgot about it when I moved my canopy and it dropped in the water and sunk to the bottom...I fished it out, cleaned it up and after drying it out over night it worked...Well last night I filled it completely up with more pellets and was cleaning another tank when it fell in again...I'm assuming that completely filling it up is the reason for this happening...Well now I dried it out once again and got the lights working and reprogrammed it again but the drum wont spin...Perhaps after it completely dries out it will work again...If not I will possibly purchase another one this weekend...My question to those who have used these feeders is: Do you not fill the cylinder completely up when using the pellets? Should you bolt the feeder down to prevent this from happening? Has any other people let there feeder take a swim and got it back working perfectly again? I'm assuming since they are for aquarium use they might possibly be a little more water friendly than most products but who knows? Some of us just can't have nice things
