Add picky fish who only eat frozen foods into the mix and it's a real headache. This is where the inD aquatics comes in. They developed the aF4 Automated Feeder to take care of frozen feeding for you! It holds up to 50 frozen cubes and uses RSW Cooling Technology to keep it all fresh in liquid form for at least 20 days. That means no more rushing home to feed, compromising with dry food, or relying on an inexperienced tank sitter to care for your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aF4 sits outside your tank on a stand, shelf, or cabinet and delivers food through a 6-foot feeding tube with a secure Multi Aquarium Mount. You can control exact feeding volumes between 5mL and 50mL, and once it's set up, your fish will get fed whether you're out for the day or gone for two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter each feeding, the unit automatically rinses itself and includes a deep clean mode to keep things running smoothly. The removable reservoir makes prep and cleanup easy, and a built-in condensation drawer helps keep moisture under control. If there's a power outage, the feeder picks up where it left off so your fish don’t miss a meal. It works with rimless, euro-braced, and rimmed tanks. (Rimmed tanks require a separate adapter).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeptune Systems Apex Compatible\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aF4 is equipped with a standard 0-10V input, making it easy to integrate with your Apex Controller or any other controller that supports 0-10V output. This allows you to schedule frozen feedings directly through your existing automation. The aF4 0-10v Link Cable (sold separately) is required. A Neptune Systems VDM Module can be added if your Apex doesn't have an available 0-10V Port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo I need an Apex Controller to use the aF4?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The aF4 operates as a stand-alone piece of equipment. Integration with the Neptune Systems Apex or other aquarium controller is totally optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 5.87\" W x 5.39\" L x 6.85\" H (149 x 137 x 174mm)\u003cbr\u003eTubing Length: 6 ft (183cm)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.94 lbs (2.24kg)\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 200mL (approx. 50 frozen food cubes)\u003cbr\u003eOperating Temp: -1°C to 5°C\u003cbr\u003eMax Ambient Temp: 29°C \/ 85°F\u003cbr\u003eDosing Range: 5mL to 50mL\u003cbr\u003eController Input: 0-10V (3.5mm jack)\u003cbr\u003eMounting Compatibility: Rimless, euro-braced, and rimmed tanks (adapter required for rimmed tanks)\u003cbr\u003ePlacement: External, sits near tank on flat surface\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's Included?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eaF4 Automated Feeder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12V 12.5A Power Supply\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti Aquarium Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep Cleaning Tablet (1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemovable Reservoir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuickstart Card\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther Frequently Asked Questions\u003cbr\u003eWhat types of frozen food can I use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aF4 is designed to work with standard frozen food cubes.
