Innovative Marine Gourmet Gadget Defroster PRO - Adjustable Frozen Fish Food Feeder and Feeding Ring

Until I found this very cool fish feeding gadget I would use 1 cup salt water and wait for the food to defrost. Then dump it in the tank. This gadget always allows me to put just the right amount of frozen fish food in. Then it slowly drops down and the fish go nuts. You should see my clown trigger fish going crazy at it. Awesome little device, just bought another I liked this one so much. The major plus is the food stays central to the feeder not polluting the tank. Have yet to try their nori feeder. Thanks for such a nice well made item for my reef tank.

We have used this item in our salt water tank. It has worked well to keep the frozen food from spreading all over too much. I’d recommend it to anyone feeding frozen food to their fish.

Easy to use, Design is great, good value for your money if you have big enough tank for functionality. Quality is very good. Size is good for a bigger tank and works well.

This is a good tool to get food down below floating plants, if your aquarium has a lot of them as mine does. Floating plants are great for pulling nitrogen and ammonia out of the water, and putting oxygen into it. Plants are the most efficient way o oxygenating a tank; even better than a bubbler, and one can always use a way to remove nitrogen naturally. The problem is that floating plants can make it almost impossible to get food to your fish. That's where this device comes in. it will get the food past all those floating plants.It has a drawback though, and this is why gave it only three stars. in order to get circulation in it to get it to empty all the food, it has to be in the direct flow of your filter. If it's not, much o the food will not all through the holes, and you'll end up with food which the fish can't get to, rotting away in the upper compartment of the feeder. That's a waste of food, and not healthy for your fish. Also, if you have some nano species such as endlers, smaller tetras, Norman's Lampeye, etc will get in the holes in the side of the feeder, and may not be able to find it's way out. You may get a bit of a surprise at the morning feeding when you go to put food in it, and a spooked fish splashes franticly inside the feeder. It's easy to get fish out of it; just turn it on its side an let the fish swim out. But at the same side, it would be nice not to have your fish go through the stress of being trapped in there and not be able to get out until you come along to free it.Before buying this unit, ask yourself if you need it to get food through a thick cover of plants, or if you want to interrupt the flow of your filter and they way it circulates around the water picking up detritus to clean your water. If you're feeding dry food and you need to get through dense surface plants, you might want to consider this as a food delivery system. If you have no surface plants, and don't mind putting this in front of your filter's outlet, then this will be a great solution for feeding frozen foods which need to thaw, such as frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, and frozen daphnia. But if you have some very small fish or caradina or neo-caradina shrimp, you may want to consider giving it a miss.

I use frozen cube food in it every day for over a year. It works ok, Sometimes I have to put my finger in the cup to swirl the food around if there isn't enough water flow hitting the holes in the cup just right. I haven't found anything that works any better. It never falls apart for me. It just works even on my 150 gallon tank. they just love it. it does need to be cleaned as I leave it in the tank at all times. I bought another one for another tank and it works fine with flow behind it, it empties without me having to stir it.

Love this feeder no wasted food

The dispensers was great for about a month. Since the return window has closed, the O-Ring no longer provides adequate seals to hold the parts in place. The clear cylinder falls to the bottom of the tank with the current from the power head. For the price, this should be more durable.I had a DIY fix. I just glued the bottom piece. No longer does it fall to the bottom of the tank.

Great item.
