Thoughts from Mike:
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it - This a really cool device. The feeder works flawlessly, and my fish really seem to love the freeze dried food. I also like that I can use the pipe to put in other foods like frozen food, torn up bits of nori and then it spits it out the bottom so less goes to the overflow. I wasn't totally sure how this thing would work based on the description, but basically at the bottom there is this spiral auger that slowly rotated when plugged into power. This slowly pushes out the food out the bottom, which drops into the pipe. There is a small sicce pump that pulls water into the pipe from the bottom and then spits it out of a small nozzle at the bottom. The food generally doesn't spit out until it's saturated, so doesn't just float back up to the surface. Nearly all the parts are 3d printed plastic and looks great. "

Thoughts from Chad F.:
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything I had hoped for and more!!! - The plank is awesome. I wanted to wait to write this review to make sure that dependability was also part of the overall package, and it is.
The plank is simple in its design, but that’s the key to its perfection.
The auger feed is precise and simply will not “dump” food into the tank. Period.
I have paired it with a smart plug and the whole system has been working flawlessly for over a month now.
As an airline pilot who is gone for days at a time, the plank has changed my world. My fish get fed consistently while I am away on a trip and my neighbors no longer get imposed upon.
Everybody wins!!!!
Thanks Avast for a great product that can be relied upon in the long run.

Some of you early Plank users may have custom screen top cutouts like this one. The new Plank v3.5 upgrade kit uses the new, square platform which wouldn’t fit- until now :)
I whipped this up for a long time customer with a custom acrylic screen top.
These are available by request for any of you legacy Plank customers out there. We like to build equipment that doesn’t turn obsolete with each new version. This is one of the reasons we 3D print the Plank. It is very easy to rapidly innovate yet still support even the very first Plank customer.

Check out this thriving harem of purple queen anthias by Cameron, one of our early adopters of the Plank feeder. These fish have been notoriously difficult to keep long term due to their feeding requirements. 8x/day microfeeding with freeze dried plankton via the Plank has helped them to thrive in his system for about eight months now, including establishing a supermale hierarchy and courtship behavior. Nicely done, Cameron!
