My wife and I are going out of town for a week starting middle of next week. Here is what I propose to do for each of my two tanks.
Work 12g Nano-Cube
#1 educate a co-worker on what the tank SHOULD look like (water levels etc etc)
#2 have a couple of gallons of RO/DI water here in the office for top-off (normal is about 1 - 1 1/2 gallons a week
#3 Premix and freeze the Mysis and Cyclopeeze mush that I feed them. I'll freeze it into small "pucks" in an ice tray that has shallow 1/2 ball indentions. This way the feeder can simply drop a "puck" into the water and it will melt slowly releasing the concoction to the tank. This will be pre melted in RO/DI water, strained to remove the "rocket-fuel" that they are originally frozen in and re-frozen with Cyclopeeze in an RO/DI solution.
#4 Give the phone # of the LFS for emergencies or questions
Home 10g tank
#1 educate the landlord on what the tank SHOULD look like (water levels etc etc)
#2 have about 5 gallons of RO/DI water here in the office for top-off (normal is about 3 -4 gallons a week)
#3 Premix and freeze the Mysis and Cyclopeeze mush that I feed them. I'll freeze it into small "pucks" in an ice tray that has shallow 1/2 ball type indentions. This way the feeder can simply drop a "puck" into the water and it will melt slowly releasing the concoction to the tank. This will be pre-melted in RO/DI water, strained to remove the "rocket-fuel" that they are originally frozen in and re-frozen with Cyclopeeze in a RO/DI solution.
#4 Give the phone # of the LFS for emergencies or questions
How does that sound for a week's vacation? anything else I need to do or NOT do?
I'll do water changes the last day before leaving so that will be taken care of.
