How to use

To use the Fluval NutraMatic 2X, first install the required batteries into the compartment. Fill the food drum with your preferred dry fish food, ensuring it is not overfilled to prevent clogging. Mount the unit securely onto the aquarium rim using the provided attachment mechanism, positioning it so that the food dispenses directly into the water. Use the control panel to set your desired feeding frequency and portion size according to the needs of your fish species. Periodically check the food levels and battery status to ensure continuous operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your aquarium rim is compatible with the mounting bracket
• Verify that your fish food type is compatible with the drum mechanism
• Consider the number of feedings required per day for your specific fish
• Check the available space above the aquarium for installation

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the feeder away from direct water splashes or high-humidity areas directly above air stones to prevent food clumping. Regularly clean the drum to ensure accurate dispensing and prevent moisture buildup.
