there is an opening on top, not very big. I have an automatic feeder clipped up top, not very pretty but it works. Every time the feeder turns, it will bang against one of the wall. It is like Pavlovian conditioning all the fishes swim close to the drop point. Anyways I found the filter design for this aquarium is not good enough, so I added Chemipure 5oz pack where the pump is now it works out great! No more cloudy water.

There is a manual bypass door on the front where you can feed checks, labels, etc. withoutHaving to use the main tray.

The feeder has a simple triangle hook at the top. It slips over a j-hook easily. I have mine hooked on a d-ring like the use for mountain climbing on the end of a rope with a pully so I can get it high off the ground and away from the deer.

There is a hook on both the top and the bottom. You attach the top hook to the place where you used to hang the feeder, then hang the feeder on the bottom hook. It lowers the feeder by about 3 inches. Works like a charm!

No. I hung my feeder but I seem to remember it had a pole mount. I might add that the little red roof opening where you load the seeds into is very small and partially blocked inside by support structures. I had to cut out two of the four structures to allow seeds to flow in. It is a big feeder and holds a lot of feed.

Yes you can. It comes with an S hook that fits into the center post when the top is all the way on. We hang it from a hook but you could easily put a chain between the S hook of the feeder and a hook somewhere else.

I opened the top, turned it over and it fell out. I bought a second feeder . . . and had no issues with the manual staying inside on either one.

There are perches on both long sides of the feeder but they are not independently adjustable,I don't think.

There is no "manual" (stupid or otherwise). There's a 1 page sheet of instructions that came inside the box with the feeder. One side of that sheet holds mostly useless information but the other side has about 5 critical paragraphs that explain all you need to know to program the feeder. Good luck.

I believe the feeder needs an angle. It should not hang straight up and down.

Hi Misha. We got this feeder a few months ago. The thimble-sized top, with the ring in it, is actually a bolt that holds the cap onto the top of the feeder. So grab that top knob and unscrew it. Then you can pull the cap off and fill the feeder.

Go to this page and under "Product Details" there is a link to view/download the instruction manual: http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Planet-Programmable-Electronic-Feeder/dp/B00ATJSH4S#

The opening is covered with a sliding "door". When wide open, it creates about a 5/8" opening. It may be a touch wider than long but it is roughly a square opening when fully open. Since the door slides, it can be opened as much or as little as you like. I fiddled with mine and have determined that you can open it just to the point of being able to see light...so the smallest setting is pretty much so small as to be useless ;) I really, really like this feeder. I used it on vacation with a combination of pellet and flake food. I crushed the flake food so it wouldn't get caught crossways in the opening. I mounted an Ocean Nutrition feeding station (about $5) under the feeder to keep the food from being swept into the overflow before it could be eaten and set the door to dump about half as much food as I wanted to feed. Next I programmed it to drop food twice, five minutes apart, to give the fish enough time to eat the food before it was wasted. Lastly, I put only one week's worth of food in it in case of a malfunction. Nice, simple setup and it worked flawlessly :)

Yes, there is a vinyl coated wire that you attach and make a hanging cord out of it. You might need to use some needle nosed pliers so you can bend it into a little round hook at the top and also bend it to hook onto the feeder itself. It doesn't end up being very long once you make those little attach circles, maybe only 3-5" long.

Yes, there are 2 openings, one at the top and one at the bottom. I would suggest chicken wire or something like that to separate the top from the bottom.

Yes. There is a little triangle on the green thing that the feeder hangs from.
