Glad to be of assistance. My auto feeder goes off 3 times a day. As mentioned, when I'm home in the evening, I pull the auto feeder & feed frozen treats. Usually end up feeding what the auto feeder spills into a little bowl as well in the end. Many folks would consider that too much, but it's working for me & the fish eat pretty much all of it. They're a chunky bunch. I don't have a lot of sps coral, so not that concerned about having an ultra low nutrient water column, sooner have well fed fish.
