Is it safe to leave your fish tank open while using this product?

I guess. I did not have good luck with this product. It worked for a couple days then the flake food clumped up and wouldnt come out. Moisture was getting into the food drum

Look up the kinds of fish you have in the tank. Some fish naturally like to jump out of water, but most dont unless they are made to by something else in the tank. If you are using this while you're going away for awhile and you are worried about a fish jumping, just put a piece of cardboard over the open part of the tank without blocking the feeder. Personally I had a small hole in the top of my hood and I placed the feeder right over the hole and it would drop right into the tank. 9 times out of 10 I would say you would be fine to leave the tank open with the feeder.

The package says it's not recommended for aquariums. It's fairly toxic stuff and any residue would probably kill fish. I used it to patch a crack in my driveway. It did a good job at that.

The bottle does not specifically address your question, it just says 'safe for ALL aquarium inhabitants. You may do well to contact the mfr at Hagen.com.

I have mine in a very large tank, and it is on most of the time, but I remove it in the summer, (It is outside in the greenhouse for my aquaculture.) It does seem to cycle off, but my use is not what it is designed for, that said, it keeps my 100+gallon tank comfortable for the fish, I also have styrofoam on the top for the plants, which adds extra insulation.

So far I have been keeping it on day and night. Maybe I should shut it off at night so the fish can sleep. LOL

The product says it's safe for plants and fish. I use it in my pond which has both plants and fish and I treat my pond twice a year just to be on the safe side. I haven't lost any plants or fish due to the use of this product. Hope this answers your question.

you can add water conditioner to the tank immediately after the water change. It shouldn't hurt your fish.

Never had that happen, may be too large a fan for your tank if the fish can't swim away from it!

My wife uses this for water for her fish tanks. If there was a smell to the water, I would hear about it. Still using it with no problems. Hoped this helped.

I'm not a good source of information but when it gets full of "gook" probably a lot of food, I toss it... I don't see any reason you can't rinse it off though i would do quick rinse with a cup of tank water to ensure you don't kill off live bio wheel down stream especially if you have a salt tank.

No. As long as you run some water in the septic tank after you put the waste in. It is capped off so its not open. You will smell an odor every time you open the cap as you are opening your septic tank but it is not there all the time.

Possibly, if you're feeding a small amount for a small number of fish. But I'd worry about it lasting that long. Otherwise a good product, though. I've used it for a 10-day period feeding a relatively large amount twice a day and the fish were pretty happy when I got back, with food left in the bin.

Because of the nature of aquariums, I'd hesitate with that. Water tends to slosh around and become unstable during cleanings, etc. That might be a question to direct to the manufacturer.

it does not harm the fish. You spray it directly on the plant parts that exposed above the water. It works well, takes about a week after spraying before you start seeing the weeds dying. I recommend the product.

I haven't but I would think it would poison the water if there were fish in the tank. Check with your pet shop to see what they suggest......

Ours is on a timer so it shuts off. I don't know if it would bother the fish or not:)

Have you kept it in the refrigerator? Personally I think if you've had it that long I wouldn't trust it in my tank. It's inexpensive where as your tank inhabitants is not. Toss it and get a new bottle would be my advice
