vacation....
Hey there-
I finally get a break from school and get to come back down to the great land of STL! Trouble is, I haven't left my saltwater tank alone for this long. I have a friend who can come every other day or so, but there will be a break of at least 4 days right around the actual holiday. i'll be gone for two weeks total. I can't fit an automatic feeder in the tank wihtout losing too much to evaporation. Do you use "vacation feeders" as you can in freshwater? I'm a saltwater newbie. Just want to make sure my one-eyed clown will be ok. The tank is a ten gallon with just her and 3 mexican turbo snails, some live rock and mushrooms and zoas. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! |

Yes, they will be topping off as well and adding the supplements as normal. She's a fish person too so I think that stuff will be fine.
I'm more worried about the feeding issue as I have read that clowns can get very stressed if there are changes in their feeding. Aahh! Sorry I thought I was replying to my previous post...not sure what happened- can someone please move it back? It won't let me delete it. Thanks! |

I sometimes feed my clown on an irregular schedule. Sometimes I cant make it home before lights out on the tank and I used to travel a day or two here for work. My clown does fine and it often get sfed a little very day or two. Missing food for a three-four day span should be fine.
