Description
The Neptune Systems Automatic Feeding System (AFS) is an innovative solution designed for easy and efficient feeding of fish within your aquarium. Here’s an overview of its features, benefits, and specifications:
Key Features:
-
Consistent Feeding: The AFS allows you to feed your fish throughout the day, providing them with multiple small feedings to reduce waste and ensure they receive the nutrition they need, even when you're not home.
-
Compatibility:
- Designed to work seamlessly with all Apex Systems, integrating well into your aquarium management.
-
Food Compatibility:
- Capable of dispensing a variety of flake and pellet foods. The recommended food for optimal performance is the Neptune Systems Crossover Diet Pellets, which are specially formulated to nourish both fish and corals.
Customize Your Feeding Routine:
- Programmed Feeding: Being part of the Apex ecosystem, the AFS allows you to create customized feeding schedules. For example, you can program your Apex to turn off your skimmer and return pumps while feeding, preventing food from being swept away into the filtration system.
Stay-Dry System:

Moisture Prevention: One common issue with automatic feeders is the exposure of food to moisture. The AFS features:
- A motorized food delivery system that retracts and extends into a sealed housing during feeding, minimizing moisture exposure.
- A built-in gasket in the food container to seal out moisture when not in use.
Specifications:
- Dimensions: 6.25" (including AquaBus plug) x 3" x 3.75"

What's Included:

- Hook and Loop Tape: For additional mounting options.
Note:
- The AFS requires a Neptune Systems Apex to operate effectively.
The Automatic Feeding System is a great investment for any aquarist looking to simplify their feeding routines while ensuring the health of their fish. If you have any questions about installation, usage, or compatibility, feel free to ask!
