With my new son here my schedule is crazy. I find that I'm regularly forgetting to feed the few fish I have in my 75G tank, a situation which will obviously get worse once I get more fish in there. As a result I'm trying to find a decent automatic feeder. I've looked around and the Current USA AquaChef Auto Fish Feeder seems to be on the top of the lists I've found but I can't seem to find any user reviews. Has anyone tried this unit, or ANY auto-feeder? They are a bit more expensive than I was assuming so I want to make sure I get something I'll like. Thanks for the input!

The eheim 3581 auto feeder is pretty good. I've been using a few of for 2 years now. I use them for vacation feeding when I go away for 1-3 weeks. Also I'm using them for daily feedings as well. Holds a fair bit of food, flake or pellets all work, depending how much you want to feed it can last a few weeks to a few months. I replace the 2 AA batteries maybe twice a year. You can set up multiple feedings a day, basically you pick the time you want the feeding, and whether it will be a normal feeding or a double feeding. Set up to 4 feedings a day. I have the feeder timed to drop food at 11am and 6pm.
I have heard this rena one is pretty decent.

Ditto on the Eheim feeders. I also like the dual feeder as well.
