    Good question. Depends on how long I am gone. It can go a few days with zero maintenance. After that, the ATO needs filled back up. If my trip falls on a water change day (every Wednesday) I will have either my roommate, or my good friend Danny (mdbostwick) to come check on it.

    Xenia was taking over. Today I did some trimming. That led to changing the landscape a bit on the left side (picture to come). With that said this came out so I decided to snap a pic.

    That's nice Danny looks after your tank.:)

    What did you do with the colony, are you going to post images of your tank?
