Neptune Systems Automatic Feeding System
- Easily Feed Fish Throughout the Day
- Compatible with All Apex Systems
- Works with Flake and Pellet Foods
The AFS is perfect for feeding your fish consistently and safely, while you're home or away. It isn't only useful when you're away on vacation. Using an auto feeder ensures that your fish are provided with several small feedings throughout the day, allowing them to eat all the food without polluting the aquarium water. Automatic feeders are especially helpful when keeping fish with high metabolisms like anthias and chromis.
Flake, Pellet, or Crossover Diet
The AFS can feed just about any flake or pellet food, but our favorite food to use with the AFS is the Neptune Systems Crossover Diet Pellets. With a micro-film of coral food applied to the surface of every pellet, these pellets work to feed both fish and corals without any extra effort.
Customize Your Aquarium's Feeding Routine
Because the AFS is part of the Apex ecosystem, you can set up customized feeding routines that work for your setup. For example, you could have your Apex turn off your skimmer and return pumps, feed the aquarium, then turn your pumps back on, ensuring the food gets eaten instead of flowing into your filtration.
Stay-Dry System
A common issue for most aquarium auto feeders is moisture getting into the food, making it clump and clog. The AFS has a motorized food delivery system that automatically extends and retracts into the housing for each feeding. The food container also has a built-in gasket that seals out all moisture once it is retracted.

Product Questions
The hopper will extend 1.5" from the body.
Take care
Yes, this product would how small pellets. Depending on how much you feed, a full drum should last you 2 weeks if not more. Have a great day!
Happy reefing!

This will hold just over 100mL of food. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
1. I see there is a clamp for mounting the feeder on the tank. Will this clamp work on rimmed tanks?
2. How would the installation work if you have a glass top or screen on your aquarium?
The clamp can work on rims up to 2" thick without issue. If there is a glass top the feeder of course will not work however with a screen top you can cut a section for feeding or if the holes are large enough allow the food to fall through. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Any module plugged into the Apex counts towards the limit of 5. This counts the display and expansion outlets like the EB4 and EB8 as well. If you are maxed out at 4 modules you can always stop using the display unit and use your phone or computer to control the Apex to open up a spot for one more module.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day :)
If you already have an Apex system all you need is the AFS system :)
It cannot, it requires the Apex system in order to operate.
