Let me start by saying this: If you’ve ever panicked about your fish starving while you’re on vacation, the GITRANG Automatic Fish Feeder is a game-changer. But fair warning—getting it set up feels like solving a puzzle without the picture on the box.

The Good: This little machine is a beast when it comes to functionality. The 200ml capacity means I only refill it once every two weeks for my community tank. It handles flakes, pellets, and even powder food without clogging (thanks to its moisture-proof design). The 360° rotation ensures food spreads evenly—no more greedy surface hoggers! I especially love the dual installation: stick it vertically with the rotatable base or use the adhesive for horizontal tanks.

The Quirks: The setup? Yikes. The 24-hour clock (military time) had me Googling conversions mid-programming. The LED screen shows cryptic codes like "NO. 18" (that’s 6 PM, folks), and the demo video might as well be in fast-forward. Pro tip: Hold the "SET" button like your fish’s life depends on it—because it kinda does.

Real-World Test: I used this during a 5-day trip. Flakes dispensed perfectly at 7 AM and 6 PM (set for two rotations each). Humidity wasn’t an issue in my open-top tank, but closed aquariums might need silica gel packs nearby to prevent sticky flakes.

Verdict: Once you survive the setup ordeal, this feeder is gold. Just don’t toss the packaging until you’ve mastered the programming—trust me.
