I used the eheim feeder, which the lfs told me was the best that they had. I thought it was great until I came back the next day to check on it and it was sitting in the bottom of my tank! :x What happened was that when the cylinder turns over to dispense the food out of the little door, it needs a couple of inches of clearance, it bumped into my hood and lighting and fell into the tank. They give you a piece of velcro to attach it to, but it was no match for the strength of the motor. I think that the feeder is a good one, compared to the others that I saw, but make sure to allow enough clearance on top. Do a few test runs first, while you are there to make sure it works perfectly. Stupidly, I didn't do that!

I have a lifegaurd brand. I really like it, and it screws on nice and secure.

I own both a Lifeguard and an Eheim. THe Eheim is the best in my opinion. I feed with it full time.
