    Default Going On Vacation (what to do)

    Ok I will be going on Vacation to Florida for about 8 days what should I do before I leave. I figure a fresh water change before going.. I also have a calc reactor on a monitor that will actulley be just starting to run for about a week a ozone system should I turn them of put them on timer etc. should I pay to get someone to look in and how often I hate to come home to a crash. here is a lonk to my tank and stuff. also if I get automatic feeders is there one brand that is better then another.

    If you also have everything on controllers(ca reactor, ozone, etc) you should be fine. If ya trust the feeder, you should be good to just have a friend stop in for a peak.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    The most likely to fail would be the feeder, get one as quickly as possible to give it a test drive while you can monitor it.

    The other concern would be that your top-off reservior can hold enough water to run for that long without attendance.

    I agree with Repto, having someone check on things daily for you would help give you a little piece of mind and let you enjoy your vacation.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
