The first time I went away for two weeks, I tried to use my feeder. I
used flakes and did not use the optional air line. I came back to a
soggy mess and a stuck feeder. But despite this, the fish survived. If I
go away for two weeks now, I use pellets in the feeder, which seem to
resist dampness better than flakes or grains, with the air line
attached, and this seems to work fine. I also found it better to perch
the feeder on one inch blocks of wood to give some clearance between the
feeder and the gap which I cut. This way, the humidity from the tank is
slightly reduced, and there is better air flow.
Hope this helps.
Paul.
