Going on my first vacation since I got back into the hobby and was curious if there are recommendations on an automatic feeder that won't break the bank? If I can't find one is not feeding the fish for about 6 days going to do any harm?
 
What kind of fish? How many do you have? Any sick? What are your nitrate levels? What is your PH levels? What happens if power goes out? What happens if your tank seals break? What happens if your filter gets clogged with sand and doesn't bring water to motor that causes a fire?

I have ADT with monitoring cameras on my tanks so I can see them 24/7 on my phone. Even have electronic monitoring for ph levels and water levels with alarms in case of something happens.

3.5" Tiger Oscar, 3" Gold Severum and 3.5" Green Terror. 3 total fish of which none are sick. Currently my Nitrate levels are around <5 and I plan to do a 50% water change before I leave for vacation. PH holds pretty steady around 7.0 and as for the other stuff I can't really answer other than it's not much different than when I'm at work everyday.
 
Then you need to buy a betta fish in a bowl. I have a team of emergency crew on stand by just in case something happens. We do quarterly drills including what happens if tank leaks and breaks. I simulate by taking a hammer to a 75 gallon filled acrylic tank. If more than 10 gallons spill we do it again.

:ROFL:

If my tank leaks, the fish will die and water will go down the drain...if my filters catch on fire well I suppose my house will burn down. Hopefully it happens at the same time so maybe the water from the leak will put the fire out.

Anyways anyone have any recommendations on a feeder?
 
:banhim: please stop posting BS everywhere.

Eheim also make a twin compartment feeder. It is not as common as the unit in the link above and is more expensive. I had it and it was awesome. Lots of configuration options (amount / feed times / frequencies)
It can house more food as well.

Worked flawlessly for ages till my pearsei got impatient and dragged the whole thing in the water. They had about 1 weeks food at once. Amazed he actually dragged it down would not of been easy. Of its useless now as well.

Anyway I recommend the twin eheim one. Though the single one will do the job well enough.
