Product Questions
Take care
Setup of the feeder is pretty easy. You'll first want to use the Mode button to get to the feeding you'd like to set ( there are 4 feeding times a day available), and then you can press the Set button to activate and change the time. use the + button to change the time. You can press the Mode button to switch between hours, minutes, and the number of feedings (indicated above the time) per interval. Once you have the time and number of feeding where you want them, press Set again to finalize. You will then press Mode again to toggle to the next feeding interval and follow the same process for each.
Hope this helps!
The Eheim Everyday Feeder should likely take care of your 20g tank for that time frame, depending on a few variables: The amount of fish and how much you feed them. It has a 100mL capacity and depending on the type of food and the setting you have it on that will dictate how long it will feed for. We have had very good luck with the Neptune Crossover Diet with automatic feeders.
Thank you
This can work for a variety of pellet food sizes and holds up to a 4 oz container of food. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
I don't know much about fish tanks but my boyfriend has a salt water tank and I want to give him as gift the automatic feeder and I wanted to ask you the following questions:
- Does this model works on salt water fish tanks?
- Is the system stable on the corner of the fish tank so doesn't fall to the other water?
- Does it work with any kind of food?
Thank you!

That sounds like a nice gift! It has no problem at all working on saltwater tanks. The feeder itself comes with a bracket that clips to the side of the tank but I have also seen plenty of people secure them on a corner with a bit of velcro. The feeder will work great with pellet food as well as flake food. As you can likely imagine it will not work with wet or frozen food though :-)
