Feed your fish consistently, and safely, while home or away. A key component of caring for aquatic animals is regularly providing them with food, but in amounts that get consumed immediately so as not to pollute the aquarium. On top of that, most species do best when they are fed all throughout the day. However, overfeeding of aquariums is one of the top reasons for water pollution and tank failures.
BUILD COMPLEX FEEDING ROUTINES WITH THE APEX AND THE AFS
Since your AFS is part of the Apex ecosystem, you can build automated feeding routines that really do all the work for you. Imagine kicking off a symphony of operations on a timed schedule, like this:
Turn off skimmer
Turn off return pump(s)
Set VorTech pumps to Tidal Surge
Dim LED lights to 40%
Wait 5 minutes
AFS feed cycle
AFS feed cycle
Wait 10 minutes
Turn on return pump(s)
Wait 10 minutes
Turn on skimmer
Turn LED lights back to normal
STAY-DRY SYSTEM PREVENTS CAKING AND CLUMPING
A common issue for most aquarium autofeeders is moisture getting into the food, making it clump or cake and clogging up. The AFS has a motorized food delivery system that automatically extends and retracts into the housing for each feeding. And, the food container has a built-in gasket that seals out all moisture once it is retracted. Pretty cool, huh!
FEATURES OF THE AUTOMATIC FEEDING SYSTEM – AFS:
Feeds pellet or flake food in varying amounts
Apex can be set so that the AFS will feed from one time to as many times as you like throughout the day.
Connects via the Apex AquaBus.
Stay-dry system has a sealed container that extends and retracts for each feeding, keeping food dry.
The lowest setting feeds just a few grains of pellet food so multiple small feedings are possible.
Allows for optimal feeding, small amounts many times a day.
Feedings can be combined with other operations such as powering off return pumps, skimmer, etc.
Adjustable mounting clip extends up to two inches (or velcro can be used) so it will work in almost every configuration.
Includes 15' AquaBus Cable
Bonus: FREE Sample of Crossover Diet food included!
Compatible with the Apex and Apex Jr. AquaControllers.
