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. MORE BUILD COMPLEX FEEDING ROUTINES WITH THE APEX AND THE AFS Since your AFS is part of the Apex ecosystem, you can build automated feeding routines that really do all the work for you. Imagine kicking off a symphony of operations on a timed schedule, like this: - Turn off skimmer - Turn off return pump(s) - Set VorTech pumps to Tidal Surge - Dim LED lights to 40% - Wait 5 minutes - AFS feed cycle - AFS feed cycle - Wait 10 minutes - Turn on return pump(s) - Wait 10 minutes - Turn on skimmer - Turn LED lights back to normal STAY-DRY SYSTEM PREVENTS CAKING AND CLUMPING A common issue for most aquarium auto-feeders is moisture getting into the food, making it clump or cake and clogging up. The AFS has a motorized food delivery system that automatically extends and retracts into the housing for each feeding. And, the food container has a built-in gasket that seals out all moisture once it is retracted. * Information as per Manufacturer
