I will be gone for 4 days and I was wondering if you guys advise to feed my fish with vacation tablets. I know this is good for fresh water fish but never had experience feeding this to my marine fish. :help:

The fish will be fine. All those tablets do is pollute the tank, even freshwater tanks.
How will you handle top off for evaporation while gone. If you have someone do this they could feed your fish. I buy the weeklong pill containers and put the amount of food to be used in those and have my tankwatcher feed that way. But if you feed before you go 4 days is not too long without food.

i'm gonna be gone for a couple days again over this weekend, and next weekend.... i always feel guilty leaving my poor fish without any food.... or light. i think the water level will be fine if i put some extra water in. i'm leaving friday, back sunday night. i just worry cuz he's such a pig! i will be getting a light timer from my mom this weekend that she doesn't use, but will my pulsing xenias be ok this weekend w/o light? i haven't left my tank all alone since i got them?
i live in a dorm and am seriously considering asking one of the girls on my floor to look after the tank, but i think it would really piss my roomie off, and she's already mad at me! usually i have her look after the tank, no problem, she doesn't mind, but she's gonna be gone this weekend too!

You can take fine fishing line and wrap dried algae to a rock REAL tight. Wrap the string around into a grid pattern.
Takes about 2 days to pick it clean.
I would have someone turn the lights on and off.
