Hoping i get some feedback so posting this as a new thread instead of my main thread.
In anticipation of a holiday, I'm going to try temporarily attaching this autofeeder from eheim instead of relying on someone to feed the tank and hoping they do not overfeed!
There's also a manual function so you can ask someone to hit the button to feed a measured amount
To attach the feeder to my tank I need to cut two small slots with my Dremel partway through the inside of the plastic rim surrounding the tank glass that the 'foot' will engage and then slot down into.
I'm wondering if this will affect the integrity of the tank though??? I.e. Does the plastic rim actually strengthen the glass tank or is it solely decorative?
Below - the plastic rim with the glass support that the bottom of the autofeeder will rest on.
How the autofeeder will sit - theres about a 2mm slot required so it sits securely
Top of auto feeder rotates to empty measured amount of dry food into the tank.
