Hey everyone. I'm having trouble with my auto feeder and my super fine (<0.5mm) pellet. The smallest setting dumps way too much pellet.

Can anyone recommend a good auto feeder for fine pellet? What auto feeder do you use and why do you like or dislike it?

Tape half the opening

I taped my slider in place so it can't move
Then I taped a piece of paper over part of the hole

I didn't cover the opening with tape as it will hold pellets and plug the hole somewhat

With an Eheim you can't tape the opening.
I use the Eheim for flake feeding.
I also have a Rena and it works well for fine pellets.

Eheim twin is a corkscrew feeder.
Eheim also makes a single chamber that could work for you.

I have been using a Rena for pellets and it usually works out pretty well. Occasionally it will do a big dump.

Hopefully some big company will take building a good auto feeder seriously and come up with something brilliant.
