Taylor, you might be mis-understanding the 15 minute recommendation. It's not having the feeder throw feed for that long, that 15 minutes is how long it takes the fish to clean up the food that is thrown. Less than that is O.K. but if it's longer, cut back on the amount of feed thrown. It all depends on how fast you want the fish to grow. I just use it as supplemental food since I don't want the fish dependant on the food during the winter.

I have some clients that only throw food for 5 seconds 2x day, others throw food for a total of up to a minute per day spread out among 3 feeding times.
