Official entry: The plank autofeeder would be an upgrade to my current autofeeder, and allow more precise, diverse feeding options as well as reduce floaters. The custom luxury lid would allow more placement options of other gear, while adding an option for screen vice my current glass lid.

Prompt #1: Gobies, they jump when you least expect it, and at the most inconvenient times. All well-behaved fish know that they must either jump where the lid will keep them contained, or wait to jump for the opening until I'm standing in front of the tank and prepared to catch them. Gobies just refuse to get onboard with the house rules...

Official entry:

I would love the custom lid to replace my DIY screen cover, which keeps my wrasses from carpet surfing. The autofeeder would be great for dispensing "snacks" through out the day for my harem of anthias.

Official entry: My tank is a RS 200XL G2 and I would use this to keep my fishies in my tank. Right now I have screen kept in place with clamps. It is kinda janky.

Official Entry: I have a brand new tank that has finished cycling, including the biome cycle. Fish have been ordered and I do have some known “jumpers” on my stock list so a super high-quality lid like @Top_Lids is a must. I didn’t really think about an auto-feeder since I’m retired and am home to feed the fish, but I will be getting those high-energy Anthias so an auto-feeder like Plank @Avast Justin seems prudent!

I am just now ordering fish from Elliot at Marine Collectors and the Melanurus Wrasse is on the stocking list. So he isn’t in the tank yet, but here is a photo along with a pic of his future home in my tank.

Official Entry - I use the lid on my 120g tank and use the autofeeder to feed my fish when I am on vacation. I currently use an autofeeder to feed dry food twice a day and then I hand feed frozen in the evening. My tank is a 120g mixed reef.
