fish feeder

[Frank S]

Frank, you must be reading my mind.



geared-down DC motor. to turn the auger through three revolutions.

photoelectric switch outside the fish tank. a fish swam in front of it the auger would dump a little reward into the tank. You can't imagine how clever I thought I was.

I filled the hopper and we went away for a long weekend. I either underestimated the activity level of fish or overestimated the amount of food to deliver with each turn of the auger; when we returned the hopper was empty, the tank was cloudy as hell, and half the fish were dead.

Since then it's become a family joke. Don't let Dad feed the dog; he'll build some contraption that'll kill the dog.

ROFLMAO until my sides hurt. We got to love our R'G' projects. Even those with dubious results
THREE TURNS" what were you thinking LOL
