Have you observed them feeding on your cold days? Or do the benefits of the fish getting SOME supplemental feed during winter far outweigh the negatives of wasting a little food and stimulating extra plant growth with those nutrients that missed your fish food chain?
Water below 50, feeder is empty. I just leave batt in through winter and let it run once a day to exercise batt and motor components. I believe it's better than sitting all winter with nothing moving.

Interesting debate on this point. I keep feeding small amounts all winter, but others say it wears out the battery and motor. Also, does exposure to the cold have an impact on battery life? Some say it is a negative, but others store their batteries in the freezer!
