Ive had my eye out for some good way to feed my fish their pellets. Most automatic fish feeders Id been seeing were either too large or too small. We never even got to the "too expensive" category.
Then I found a "Programmable Automatic Pond Fish Food Feeder With LCD display" on Amazon for less than $50. It looks like it should work, and its free standing.
Purchased the commercial unit online and have been looking forward to playing with it. Then my buddy, Rob Torcellini, posted a youtube video about the automatic fish feeder he has created. So cool! I dont have a tack welder or a sand blaster, but the video gives me an idea how I could create an automatic fish feeder using the tools available to me.
Luckily for my fish, theres a commercial feeder en route. But for fun, I look forward to seeing if I can rig up a DIY something to work in case the feeder Ive bought were to fail. Should be fun!
