okay so i left the fish in the tank over the break... i hope he is okay i put a full cube of food in the tank right as i was leaving so i am thinking he will be okay. yea i should be getting my lights this week and i will be just adding corals until i get another tank set up at home.

im interested to hear how your tank is when you get home. I left tuesday and wont get back to school until sunday. I fed my clown goby some flake right as i was walking out the door and over topped off my tank, i kinda hope that will prevent the salinity from getting too high. Im really nervous to go home sunday

yea i know i did the same thing as well im worried about it and i put lots of RO water in before i left and hopefully the salinity will not drop to much. i dont know what im gunna do over the 3 week break!!!
i might just have to get rid of mr. shrimp and BAIT because i really dont feel like setting up another tank. i need money for gas and going out and stuff!!!

im not sure of your college/home situation but what I'm doing is im just going to put all my stuff in a bucket with tank water and then just going to put the tank in the back of my car with some plastic wrap over it with some holes and also put it in a tub so if any water does spill it will get caught. When i get home set it up and just refill the tank put my coral and shrimp/goby back in and then just do basically a large water change. My break is about 4 weeks long i think so then ill do the same when i go back to school except it might be a 15 long and not the 5.5gallon i left with : D
Good luck with whatever you do. See if you can find a fish store near by that will take the fish and shrimp

You should take it back to LFS, use your own advice that you gave me remember? Also, why do you keep adding things to the tank when you know your not going to be able to take care of it during winter break?

What else did he add? from what I know he only has a fish and a peppermint shrimp.
When do you get back Patrick? I hope you're having a good holiday!!
