Any suggestions/experiences on which one to buy?

I have a fish mate 114 myself, while possibly not the best, it works without any problems. It's only suitable for smallish pellets and flake food, and it dispenses the food slowly (non agressive eaters might not get any food if theres agressive feeders around).

It's also easy to clean.

Edit: I have no shopping experience, from aquatics-online it's just so you can see photos and pricings

I use two Rondomatic 400 auto-feeders.
Works nice.
I fill them up once a week.
I fill one up with freeze dried krill.
The other with pellets and wafers.
Each feeds 4 times a day; so 8 feedings per day total.

Fish are happy. They get to nibble on food all day long (while I'm at work) instead of one big feeding at night.

MKR-
How does that feeder attach to your aqarium?

I have a broad glass "cross bar" in the center of my tank which it rests upon. I don't remember if there is any clips with the package you can use for attachment... (I'm not at home right now)
