The FREESEA feeder offers two installation methods:
- Clip-On Glass: Use the adjustable clamp to secure the feeder to the edge of your aquarium glass. This method is suitable for glass thickness less than 1 inch (24mm).

Operating Instructions

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your FREESEA Automatic Fish Feeder.
- Refilling: Monitor the food level in the transparent drum and refill as needed. The 120ml capacity typically lasts for an extended period depending on feeding frequency and amount.
- Cleaning the Dispenser: Periodically check the food dispensing opening for any clogs or residue, especially if using flake food which can sometimes stick. Gently clean the opening to ensure smooth operation.
- Battery Care: The feeder's high-capacity battery provides up to 45 days of use. Recharge the unit using the provided Type-C cable when the battery indicator suggests low power.
Troubleshooting
- Feeder Not Dispensing Food:
- Check if the food drum is empty and refill if necessary.
- Ensure the dispensing opening is not clogged. Clean any stuck food particles.
- Verify the battery level. Recharge the feeder if the battery is low.
- Overfeeding:
- Adjust the feeding slider to a smaller opening to reduce the amount of food dispensed per rotation.
- For very small tanks or fish, you may need to further restrict the opening (e.g., by applying a small piece of tape over part of the opening) to prevent overfeeding.
- Automatic Feeding Not Working:
- Confirm that an automatic feeding interval (12H, 24H, or 48H) is selected and its indicator light is on.
- Ensure the feeder is fully charged.
