Anyone using automatic feeders for flakes/pellets?

I've tried the New Era pellets and I find they are too big for the majority of my small mouthed fish. Guess I'll have to make a feeding ring for my small sinking pellets that do not sink fast enough.

If you don't want to make a feeding ring, you should be able to find one at your LFS. I purchased one before I made the bracket for my autofeeder, they're very inexpensive. They're simply a plastic ring floated by styrofoam & attach to the inside of the tank with a suction cup.

And... it took a prototype or two & a good measure of cussing before I ended up with the final product as shown in the photos.

Here's a link to the cheapo one you can buy.
