In both tanks?

Im going on a seven day vacation at the end of the month. I do not have automatic feeders and Id like yo do without if I can because frankly they're expensive. So i was wondering if my fish would be okay with out food for a week. I have a 55 gallon tank with about 15/20 African cichlids and I...

What spectrum and wattage bulbs should i use on my cichlid tank? I have recently switched from a planted tank with tropical fish to all African cichlids. Here is my set up, tho I'm still unsatisfied with the look. Something just isn't right about it. And I was wondering about lighting, will my...
