What do you guys do for your tanks when you go on an extended vacation? i.e. top off, feeding etc?
Thanks in advance?

oh yeah but you can only put flake in the feeder so its not a good long term idea (only a week max probably)

If you have friend / family feed for you, I would get one (or two if its a long vacation) of the weekly pill boxes. Its a plastic tray that you can put your pill / fish food in for Monday, Tuesday, etc. That way your substitute feeder won't over feed your tank and only feed it that amount you left for day X.

...and I would also buy / put out a gallon jug of top off water.

I have a hired person with refs. I leave all dry foods in a pill organizer. They have days on them, she knows of course dump mon. on mon. I also leave a note for what day to put in frozen foods & how to do that as a reminder. She had fed them for about 6 years. I have 55sw 70sw 55fw 38fw 3 cats 2 dogs and a turtle tank. She charges $100.00 per 7 days. That is litter boxes brushing dog baths and all. I would figure a tank care provider would be inexpensive. CHECK REFS though. I have never lost any fish.
