Automated feeder for a vacation

[olegdulin]

We are going away for three days, just wondering what is a recommended automated feeder ?

I don't trust those dissolvable piramids...

Any thoughts ?

Just feed them heavy the day before, do a wc day of and light feed... don't worry about it, 3 day fast will be fine, actually good way to clear out their systems..

Ok and generally speaking - if I were to go away for a week, what is a good approach ?

Have a friend pop in to check once mid week??
Edit- from accounts on this forumn.. A week of no attention us doable..

Brookster's spot on. No need to worry about feeding. Most but not all tank sitters do more harm than good!!!

so true.. Detailed directions and pre portioned food in papers bundles or foil wrapped freezer packs.. Hide the supply!!! People think fish have bottomless bellies...

I done that and still came home to a green tank, with 3 floaters in it. That was only after 10days!!!!
