LCD Control Automatic Pond Fish Feeder, Capacity 5.5L, DC 12V

Koi Peeps! I got this for a 14 foot Koi pond for about 15 fish.While it did take me a moment to get through the programing, it then went smoothly. It handled both types of koi food easily. Here's the program in a nutshell. It will only deliver on the hour, so if you set it for 1-7 that's the first feeding at 7am. If you program for 4-21, that's the 4th feeding at 9pm. You can set it to dump for a count of 1 to (I think) 6. Six being quite a bit of food with one being just enough for me which I set to occur twice a day. I set it in a bench vice overnight with a bowl under the spout to see what came out.The folks prior to this that said the programming gave too much food might have not had this gen of timer, not sure, but there are multi levels and if you need less food than "1" you are either starving your fish, or don't have any fish. You may want to take a good look in your pond. (JK)When I go away, I intend to put a bag over the timer since I'm not sure about weatherproofing, but it since it unhooks so easily, seems easy enough to put it in a gallon zip-lock and not worry. For that reason (today) I'm rating it high.I also love that this does not use a battery and by accident I flipped off the switch for an hour and it came right back to the correct time when I put power back on.I set this in place just this week. I will let you know after a few weeks if I have a change of heart or dead fish... I think we will be fine.UPDATE - We just got back from a five day away and arrived at 4:55 so I ran back and saw the food drop at 5:00 as programed. Fish waiting to eat. Works great!

Great feeder. Only complaint is the smallest amount you can feed is still way to much if you only have a couple young fish. You would need to have at least 8 koi under 12 inches or 4-5 above 12 inches for the amount of food not to pollute the water. Yes I have the feeder setting amount on 1 and have the smaller food auger in it.Other than that it’s awesome. If you have a pond full of adult fish it will be awesome for you.

I would give more stars if it is 1) easier to program and 2) adjustable of quantity is more precise and flexible. Programing the time and feedings are rather complicate at first. After a few mistakes then you will understand how it works. The Quantity feeding is given in SECONDS. That is the length of time the plastic screw spins pushing out the pallets. Level one quantity will spin 35 seconds. Level two will double that (70 seconds) there is nothing in between. So if that works for you then you get the good feeder. If not, then there is no way to modify it.....period. There are two plastic screws, one with large space between vein and push out more pallets than the smaller one. I can't imagine using the large one and have it spin in minutes..... judging the silo above it holds only 5.5 pounds of feed.
