4.2 Mounting Options

The feeder offers two installation methods:

1. Clip-on Glass: Use the adjustable clamp to securely attach the feeder to the edge of your aquarium glass. This method is suitable for glass thickness up to 1 inch.
2. Stick-on Aquarium Lid: For tanks with lids, use the included round double-sided adhesive sticker (2.3" diameter) to attach the feeder to the lid.
