Automatic fish feeder installed by your pond or aquarium. Mounted securely, programmed to your feeding schedule. Feed your fish consistently, even when you're away.
### Never Worry About Holiday Feeding Again
Going away used to mean either starving your fish or trusting someone else to feed them properly. **An automatic feeder sorts it** - reliable feeding whether you're there or not.
> 💡 **Koi keeper's tip:** Overfeeding is worse than underfeeding. Automatic feeders give consistent portions - no more "better give them extra just in case."

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Battery life:** Most pond feeders run for 2-3 months on batteries. Put fresh ones in before a long holiday. Some people keep a spare set by the pond just in case. **Food type matters:** Pellets work best in automatic feeders - flakes can clog. Use good quality food that won't swell too much in the mechanism. **Multiple ponds?** You can run feeders on several ponds - I'll set them all up to the same schedule or different ones if you prefer. Having koi in one pond and goldfish in another often needs different feeding.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fish feeder installation in Dawlish
Why do I need an automatic fish feeder?
Going away for a week? Without a feeder, your fish don't get fed - or worse, you get a neighbour to do it who dumps half the tub in. An automatic feeder gives consistent portions at set times.
Will it work for my pond or aquarium?
Different feeders for ponds vs tanks. Pond feeders are weatherproof and usually battery powered. Tank feeders clip onto the aquarium rim. I'll install whichever type you've got.
How long does installation take?
About 15-20 minutes usually. Mount the unit securely by the pond or on the tank, set the timer and portion size, test it dispenses properly. Quick job.
Do you set up the timer?
Yes - I'll program it to feed at the times you want with the portion sizes you specify. Show you how to adjust it afterwards too.
