How many meals can I do with this tank or how many days does the tank making 3 meals per day?

I used this on a 7 day river trip (14 People), but, I used it on a "blaster" set up, so it was only used to heat up water for coffee (5 Large french presses a day) or for dishes (breakfast and dinner dishes only). Love the size of this tank. At the end of the trip it was empty.

There are an enormous number of variables which would make this a very difficult question. Would you use a large grill, small grill or just a single small burner. The way I would suggest for you is to buy a 1 pound disposable tank and see how long it lasts with the burner you are asking about. Then you can multiply the amount of lbs in the Worthington tank and then you will know how it will last.

This is based on my Primus two burner camp stove. Boiling 3 qts of water takes 15 min and uses 1.4 oz of propane. The 1 gal tank fill is 4.25 pounds or 68 oz giving 728 full burner minutes. My estimate for cooking dinner for 4 is 40 full burner minutes or about 18 dinners per tank. Breakfast for me is maybe half that and I don't cook lunch so 60 min per day gives me about 12 days. If you cook more, estimate burner minutes per day to figure how long 728 will last. Hope this helps.

There is no simple answer to your question, because not all meals are equal, and it matters how many people you are cooking for. For two people with simple meals one gallon of propane will last for around two weeks. If you are really doing cooking, as opposed to just heating stuff up, it won't last as long. If you are feeding a group of people it will use more fuel. For comparison the one pound disposable cylinders are one-fifth the size of a one gallon propane tank. The efficiency of your stove might also be a factor.

I did not find that it lasted that long. From what I remember, I think that it lasted about a week at three meals a day, maybe a little less. That was cooking somewhat involved meals as well as boiling water for hot drinks. It's much nicer than having those small disposable ones.

For a 29 gallon tank I bought 2 of these and have one feed in the morning and one in the evening. That way if something happens to one of them the fish will at least get fed once per day. I take a 2-3 week trip every year and never had a problem with this feeder. Most fish can survive a week or two without food, the bigger threat to them is over feeding. Better to feed smaller amounts twice per day. I also put a corner filter in the tank in addition to the external filter when I'm away for more than a week. It adds aeration should something happen to clog the main filter.

6.6 gallons. The tank is amazing, you won't be disappointed. But please make a mental note, this tank looks amazing but VERY careful with the substrate when you clean the tank because when I say this tank scratches easily, I mean it REALLY scratches easily. I ended up ruining mine because I used a sponge to try to scrub the algae (which built up over time even with an algae eater fish) the front of the tank ended up looking like frosted glass lol! (well I laugh now but..). So it'll stay looking gorgeous and clear as long as you are SO CAREFUL when you are adding/removing gravel. I thought I was being careful but I still ended up scratching it.

Its been awhile since I bought this but I remember doing a second order for tanks. Not sure if it didn't come with it or because I wanted extras. I woulld buy extras anyway. This tank won't last that long if you use it consistantly everyday.

The entire tank is 2.3 gal.It's great divided for small fish. I used mine divided into 3 instead of 5 . i had 2 Betta's and put a dwarf frog in the middle.

How much smaller? I use a 5 gallon tank. It was half full after 1 weekend of use, twice a day.

At 5 meals a day, it lasts 35 days. I eat them around 7:30, 10:30, 1:30, 4:30, lean and green dinner at 6:30 and then another at 9 or so.

I take up to 10 a day. The bag has lasted me at least 2 months. This is definitely the only brand of chlorella I will ever use again.

Hi Kim. The answer is 14 meals, but please keep in mind that when you buy from the middle man, you'll pay more, risk getting expired or even contaminated products, and get no support. Please consider buying right from the company and getting free coaching and support if you're interested. Thanks so much! http://sandibatten.isagenix.com/en-US#

The small tanks are two lbs. They will run it for about four days...1/2 lb per day.

I believe so. I just used it for two weeks and still had more than half the food left. It would depend, of course, on how much you feed and how often. I fed the most that can be fed, once per day. The amount of food can be adjusted and you can feed up to four times a day.

It would vary depending on the portion size you're using, and how many meals in a day. How many meals a day would you use (up to 3) and how many cups/partial cups at each meal?

Each box has 7 meals, so that would be 84 meals. You eat 5 of the Medifast a day. 12 boxes =16 days worth of meals.

Usually a tank will last 8 hrs if you leave it at medium heat to low. Depending in the space required to heat. So if you the calculations. 20 min X 3 = 60 min 3X8=24. So about 24 times give or take a few.

depends on the feed times and amount of food but yes I have with my three fish

You can set it up to as many meals as you would like. You don't have to have all five. Basically it keeps rotating though and you just set the time for each one so if they happen to have no food on one feeding for a few hours that is okay. I have my feeder set up for five meals going basically about every four hours or so I think is what it is. That way they can nibble in the middle of the night if they want or very early in the morning if they want or when I'm not home. But if I go on vacation I always leave an entire big giant bowl of food just in case this happens to die with the battery. I've had mine I think about year now and the battery has not died yet.

I programed my feeder to feed 3 times per day. It will Stay Programed that way UNLESS I change the settings. You DO NOT have to reset daily. Hopes this answers your question.
