Anyone know of a good Aquarium maintence company that will travel to Danbury, CT. I will be out of town for a week and need someone to do the daily feedings and overall system check.

Thanks

When I leave for a week I have someone come by one time in the middle of the week. I put tape on my sump and overflow chamber to show where the water should be. Before leaving I add three days worth of top off water to the sump, and fill my auto topoff container as much as possible. I put a tape mark on the top off container, and leave a bucket of RO water. I tell the person to add water only if the top off is below the tape (they have never had to add water). The fish can go a week without food no problem (especially in a reef).

Unless you can find someone who really knows what they are doing to watch your tank, I find it's best to leave it alone.
