JBL ProPond Koi Auto feeder - Unboxing, set up and quick review

[@Sander69]

Maybe consider to also feed them during the night. Koi like eating at night and you will keep your water parameters more stable. My feeder can only do 6 times a day so with two hand feeds they will get some food every three hours. Started this schedule this spring and growth is impressive and water parameter are perfect stable even during the high temp feeds. Regards from The Netherlands.

[@koidiaries]

Yeah good shout! I am noticing by the end of the day there is a bit of muck on the pond floor, but no feeding over night and its gone by morning, maybe a smaller feed every hour would be better??? If i did do that id be worried the smaller koi missing out.

[@Sander69]

@@koidiaries i think you don’t have to worry about the small koi. I have now also tosia in my pond and they are learning to get more eager to get their part, so you will teach them not to be shy. And for sure a small amount every hour of every few hours will also make your biological filter the happiest. It is worth to try. If you find some in eaten food, just reduce the amount a little. Good luck.

[@shaunleonard8146]

Good investment, see their sold out!

[@koidiaries]

Yeah, luckily I got in there as soon as i saw they were available!

Brilliant Andrew

Is it quite light. I'm thinking when thr food runs out and you get gusts of wind would it topple over. I'd strap it to the post

[@koidiaries]

I reckon it weight 5kg empty, id be very suprised if empty the wind would blow it off, but then again a string gust would for sure. It does come with fixing plates for the feet so you can secure it sown if needed. And obviously when its full of food its very heavy

Good afternoon sorry I forgot ya name I have hot a jbl pro pond auto feeder same as yours mine stopped working I had the mains plugged in for about 4 wks it's been working for about 2 wks I got power to the plug but the led screen isn't on can u help many thanks mat

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

It's a great auto feeder. I have seen it at Jeff's from Just4Koi, it looks really neat. It's will be great for your beasties. Take care

[@koidiaries]

Cheers yeah hope so, working well currently :-)

[@KoiKicks]

Looking good. Are you getting pond guards on your 3 wall as I'm getting twitchy !??

[@koidiaries]

Nope, no jump guards, if ive got fish jumping id deffo be investigating as soon as i saw it. I never had jump guards on previous pond and the water level was 30mm from the very top. If fish start going over the glass I have a plan but i dont really wanna do that unless i have to

[@KoiKicks]

@@koidiaries Brave man 😁

[@mathewholland6025]

I think in the cup about 200 pellets

[@koidiaries]

Pop your comment on the giveaway vid please, ta

[@kevinellis4755]

you may also have to watch for snails and slugs getting in to the auto feeder as i had this problem and they will clog the feeder up with there slime

[@koidiaries]

Yeah for sure, although ive not seen any slugs near the pond since ive removed all the planting from the rear. We'll see but ill deffo keep an eye on it!

[@keithwatkins7469]

Self adhesive copper tape is the best deterrent anywhere around the area that the sticky things want to invade. Keith

[@craiglarson7004]

One concern I have about theses type of feeders is when the air becomes dewy in fall and spring. Will it make the food all wet? Keep us posted

[@koidiaries]

The unit is waterproof and theres a screw which pulls the food towards the flinger, so if any food did get damp im pretty sure it would only be a couple of pellets, but we'll see when the time come i suppose

[@richo1399]

Not sure what's going on previous video show blue auto feeder this one black mmmmmmm ?????

[@frankiepitt9135]

You’re seeing things.

[@rebeccadaily8995]

[@stephenrhoden1401]

[@MikeyDunn]

Well that's confusing, I though JBL made subs, speakers and amplifiers, no fish feeders, lol!

[@Tom_Prendiville]

Nice one Andy, maybe a sinking pellet in the feeder (or a mix) and floating by handto stop the splashing/carnage.

[@koidiaries]

Yeah for sure, i did put some 3mm sinking in but its a tad too small and clogs the spinny flicker thing

[@Tom_Prendiville]

@@koidiaries I think it's trying to find the right sinking food without buying saki hikari 😲 £220 for 20kg....eeek

[@atsuminaoki9910]

As someone else said, if you can't change the current situation in the UK, where all events are concentrated in mid-summer, which has been in place for a long time, how about re-scheduling our high summer feeding period for your September, October and November? Of course, you'd have to pay for utilities. A complete feeding period of preferably a month and a half or more is indispensable.
