    What feeder was it bud. I’ve got a brand new FOK feeder but it’s missing the chute so I’m looking to either buy or borrow a chute and get a 3 d one made

    I use an aquaforte feeder and it's run seamlessly since I installed it.

    Mind you it is bolted to the wall of my garage so not exposed to the elements or slugs and snails.

    But been pretty happy with it and it's easy to programme with the aide of the manual.

    Same as Twhite, I have the Aqua Forte feeder. Used for the past two summers and I have been very happy with it, very programmable and so far, has run faultlessly.
    One slight gripe and this would apply to a lot of the feeders out there, in the height of summer, when the fish are really on the feed, because these feeders drop the food straight down on to the pond surface in a confined area, there is mayhem, with the fish seemingly climbing over each other to get at it. There were a few bumps, bruises and split fins.

    Also has the advantage that the food doesn't appear all at once in one small spot....
