its a bucket of fish food that feeds the fish in morning and at dark.it takes away a daily chore.it has a battery operated slinger on the bottom of it.i just used a cheap walmart deer feeder thingy to make it.

Okay, thank you, that was going to be my next question was how would it feed by itself but you answered and said it was battery operated.

I know when I lived at the fish hatchery one of the jobs my ex has was to feed the fish. He would sling for hours feed every day. At some of the other hatcheries they had feeders on a timer and the only chore was to keep them full of feed. At a certain time the feeders would go off and the fish fed.

Very cool job on the homemade. You are genius with all of what you have going on.
