Holiday Feeding....?

[pscl227]

Hi,

Just a quick question about holiday feeding salt water fish, I currently have a fresh water tank but have bought many many saltwater books and read them cover to cover, but none really have a good solid topic on holiday feeding.

Currently when i go away for 2-3 weeks i attach my automatic feeder and forget about the tank (never had a single issue!)

But since salt water tanks seem so much more fragile how on earth do you go about it?

This is seriously the only factor stopping me from getting one at the moment.

You couldn't do that with a salt water tank - most of us train a neigbour, family member, friend etc however for a shorter holiday you can use an auto top off, timer for the lights and a food dispenser (as long as you have tested it!!)

Hmm, as i suspected!

The problem is we live in the country in a house in the middle of nowhere, and all my work colleges & friends live 20+ miles away.

Guess it's time to sell up the books and expand my tropical system.
