**Please note that this feeder requires an Apex Controller (sold separately) to operate. AFS - Automatic Feeding System Feed your fish consistently, and safely, while home or away. A key component of caring for aquatic animals is regularly providing them with food, but in amounts that get consumed immediately so as not to pollute the aquarium. On top of that, most species do best when they are fed all throughout the day. However, overfeeding of aquariums is one of the top reasons for water pollution and tank failures. Feed Pellet, Flake, or Our Crossover Diet Of course the AFS was designed to feed almost any correctly-sized pellet or flake food. But the ideal food for the AFS is the Crossover Diet pellet food by Neptune Systems. We’ve worked closely with Reed Mariculture (the manufacturer of Reef Nutrition foods) to come up with exclusive new food based on their TDO Chroma Boost that would dispense in consistent quantities from the AFS and bring out the vibrant colors in your fish. Not only that, our proprietary Crossover Diet pellets have food for both your fish AND corals. A micro-film of coral food is applied to the surface of every pellet during manufacturing. When these pellets are dispensed by the AFS, this micro-coral-food is dispersed upon contact with the water and then the pellets sink for the fish to consume. Even if you do not have a coral reef tank, this food is beneficial other micro-fauna in your tank. The AFS along with our Crossover Diet pellets are the all-in-one feeding solution for your aquarium. We even include a sample pouch of our Crossover Diet in every box! AFS Features: Feeds pellet or flake food in varying amounts Apex can be set so that the AFS will feed from one time to as many times as you like throughout the day Connects via the Apex AquaBus “Stay-dry” system has a sealed container that extends and retracts for each feeding, keeping food dry. The lowest setting feeds just a few grains of pellet food so multiple small feedings are possible Allows for optimal feeding — small amounts many times a day Feedings can be combined with other operations such as powering off return pumps, skimmer, etc. Adjustable mounting clip extends up to two inches (or velcro can be used) so it will work in almost every configuration.
