Default New Era + Eheim Auto Fish Feeder

I've had very good luck in the past with the Eheim "Everyday Fish Feeder" with the New Life Spectrum 2mm sinking pellets... Now looking for your experiences/etc running the softer-ish New Era pellets?

Anyone tried yet?

You work from home - YOU are the auto feeder. You're fingers will deliver the softer stuff perfectly. Plus, you'll get the enjoyment of watching the fish eat and checking up on them

Yeah, well...

Seriously though, I'm lazy, and over the next 4 months we are planning a few trips, and I'm going to be in the US a couple times for work

I'm using an auto fish feeder with the new era marine & algae pellets and it works perfectly.

Been using this combo for a year. Works better if you have more fish that require larger portion for each feeding. It doesn't discard consistently if you have small feedings as it tends to stick and clog. I have atleast 10 medium/large fish 4"-6" so the feeder works well with New Era. Otherwise it's flawless with all other fish food brands.
