PremiumAquatics Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Neptune Systems has just announced that the eagerly anticipated new AutomaticFeeding System (AFS) is leaving their facility in California today! Besure to get in on the first shipment arriving in just a few days! http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/NEP-AFS-110.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Cool little device. Any experience using one? How many days worth of food does it hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremiumAquatics Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I haven't seen one of them in person... Neptune introduced them and ran demos at a couple of the recent shows, and the feedback I've heard has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm going to pass along your question for a Tech response. I'll respond ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceastman Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah those look cool, I like the idea that it retracts and seals itself so the food stays dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 This is a rebranded feeder by Neptune wired to work with the Apex. The original unit had good reviews. I think it was called the superfeeder or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremiumAquatics Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Response directly from Tech Support at Neptune: "Depending on the volume/density of food (let's say our new Cross-Over Diet) it can hold roughly 3 packages (1oz), equivalent to about 3 oz. The Cross-Over is similar in size to the standard Spectrum, but it breaks down a little bit when hitting the water for coral feeding (zoo/phyto plankton etc.).We are very excited about the AFS. Its a niche that has needed to be filled for a long time. You can limit the amount of food to 10-15 pellets, or a whole bunch with the throat all open. You can also program the drum to rotate different amounts of times at each feeding. You could program one rotation in the morning, two in the afternoon, one in the evening, and one at night, for example." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
