Business Trip

Ok, here it goes...Everytime I go away i get stressed, LOL...I have someone housesitting for us and I want to make the tank maintenance as simple as possible, since we have six tanks...Can the reef tanks go a week without dosing the 2 part b-ionic additives? I have 4 Lyretail Anthias in our DT and they only eat mysis or a few other frozen foods. They will not eat any type of pellets which our other fish have no problem eating...Any thoughts on this? I also have 3 Figure 8 Puffers in one of our FWT's who will only eat mysis and other frozen as well....

 

That depends on the comsumption rate. What I do when I go on vacation is to raise the Alk/Dkh, Cal and Mag levels a little, so when I come back there not that low. Lately I have gone a week without dosing anything except Kalk. If you have a low C rate, I dont see a problem. Luna

 

Wish you all the luck..... And try to enjoy yourself....

 

Hey Luna,
Thanks man...I have lots of SPS and Leathers in the tank..No clams....The tank is balanced and I don't want to upset that balance. I guess I can do a bit of testing before I leave in a few weeks...8)

 

Thanks, man,,,I always stress a bit before I leave..I hate leaving the tanks and dogs with a house sitter, even one that is a good friend...I will try LOL

 

I wouldn't be able to sleep without stress.. Between work and a 3 & 4 year old, I have loads of it... LOL!!!!! I wouldn't trade the stress from my boys for anything though.....

 

Yeah, but the stress is well worth it, wouldn't you say? 8)

 

Very, very true.....
