Help with Auto Feeder recommendations


I am considering buying an automatic feeder. I am interested in opinions about brands that work well. I would like to have at least a 7-day feed cycle. Twice that would be good for 2x per day. I suppose that it is important to have a moisture-proof seal. What type of food can be used other than flake? I can go either with battery powered or electric. I can mount it either on the plastic rim of my 90g tank or, perhaps, to the inside of my wood tank cover/canopy.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I sell one by Penn Plax that works on batteries, and feeds twice a day. Haven't heard anything good or bad about it. Runs about $40 retail (yeah yeah I know you'll be buying it online cheaper than my cost *g*).

It takes flakes and small pellets (like Kent's new line of foods).
