how many days of food does this hold ? We have a 10 gallon tank so we just use a big pinch of flake food.

I suppose it depends on the device settings you give it but I have set mine for 3 decent feedings a day and left it for 5 days, when I returned it still had plenty to spare.

you can set this to feed up to 4 time a day, and how much you feed them each time has multiple positions. I have a 20 gallon tank with 12 fish. i feed them 3 times a day and have it on the middle setting for quantity. It lasts at around 2 weeks. make sure you break the fish flakes up when you load the feeder, or they will jam up. also make sure you raise the feeder high enough away from the water line so the door that flips open doesnt touch the water or it will also jam up from wet food. its a great feeder!

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

I purchased this for my 28 lb Cocker back in December and after the first week of daily use went to twice a week and the container looks to be half full now. For a 10 lb cat it should last a lot longer since you won't be using as much. I think it would probably last at least 6 months if not longer.

i have an adult turtle that eats the pellets once a day. I filled it halfway two weeks ago and set the opening at halfway and it's still going.

Funny you asked that....today I was wondering how many cups of food would be in the bag, how long it would last. The kibble is small, I opened it on the September 22 and I have gone through maybe a quarter of the bag, we use about 3 cups of food a day. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

It depends on how much you need to feed your fish. Also chop up the flakes so it does clog up. I love this feeder. It Is well worth the money. I would purchase again for sure.

that all depends on what filter you have, for me i have a turtle and a 60gallon tank, so i use about 100grams on a fluval405 , and it lasts about two months with clear odorless water. your situation might be different , i think this should be more than enough if only for regular fish.

Hi,I have a 10 gallon tank and it's fine! I didn't think there would be a smaller one. It definitely does the job. X

I have not actually tried to time our usage so cannot put any real number on how long the 5 gallon (20 pound) tank lasts. Having said that I have not felt that tank went dry quickly.

I had a 10 gallon at the time and was able to get it to dispense roughly a pinch of fish flakes.

We have only few fishes in our tank (mostly soft corals and 6 fishes). When we tried to feed fish and used smallest setting it was still too much of the pellets end up on the bottom of the tank, so we stop using it. I guess it can be calculated (considering whole amount and amount dispenced on each feeding based on smallest or largest setting) for how many days it can be set for. Plus, consider how many time a day feeding ocuur.

Depends on how long the food is sitting in the hopper. How long will it take to go through ten pounds? I don't know, as I don't use my feeder every day. My guess is that if you are using the feeder every single day for every meal then the food will stay 'fresh' until it's depleted. But if it's sitting in there for weeks, well, I don't think so. Hope that helps.

It will last about that long maybe a little longer. I can usually cook about 3 times with a tank

I have one in a 30 gallon tropical tank. The tank has a very large piece of driftwood which leaches some color into the water. Purigen keeps the water absolutely clear for about a month. I keep two bags. One in the filter, and the other regenerating and then in storage for a month. Love this stuff!

I have never had to store it more than a month. My fish ate it up too fast. Just purchase a smaller size. If you are trying to but bulk to save money split a container with a friend. The whole idea of a good diet is a good fresh diet.

It will last about 7 to 10 mins. in a full tank....has a rather small tank.

I use separate container for storing - about 5Gal will do (I use Staniles Steal milk can :))
