How to make a Wandell Auto Refrigerated Feeder (WARF)​

For the last three years, I’ve used a simple auto feeder that has worked very well to deliver a mix of planktonic foods to my aquariums. Some potentially novel ideas about this auto feeder seem worth sharing with the larger hobby community.

For the sake of simplicity and to distinguish it from other types of auto feeders, in this article, I’ll refer to it as the “Wandell Auto Refrigerated Feeder” (WARF); I make no claim to being the first person to come up with this idea but I haven’t seen it described elsewhere, at least not in writing. However, the idea is simple enough that I imagine many other people around the world have built something similar.

The WARF has a few basic components:

1. A small refrigerator
2. Two programmable peristaltic dosing pumps
3. Tubing & tubing fittings
4. Food container
