Tank sitter needed.

[adambfc]

Hi everyone
I live on the upper west side, I have a five gallon nano. But Ive just been informed that I have to leave the town for almost two months, june 15th- aug 10th.
I am looking for someone who would be willing to look after it for me. Compensated of course.

Most of duties are standard.
top off the water ( thought i can provide automatic top off equipment.
I do a a two gallon water change every ten days. ( probably the biggest responsibility)
feed the clown fish a few pellets a day
feed the coral every three days ( not direct feeding, involves placing several drops of solution in the water.
The lights are on a timer

the tank is beautiful requires little maintainence
looking for someone who would want it in their place, as it should not be too hard to transport.

let me know
I can provide pictures if needed

I dont know about this...

Make sure that person has good rating before they take your tank. Or you might not ever see it again... lol

Also, i think you should be fine if you purchase an auto feeder and auto top off. Its only 5g. I think you shuold just attach a 10/20 gallon tank for the top off. As for water changes, i think it depends on what your keeping.

In my Fluval Chi that is 5.5 i do a 2g water change every month. Sometime i forget and push it to almost 2 months. But everything seems fine. I get alot of growth and have to constantly trim my macro algae and xenia's.

My mangroves and zoas are growing very well.

But if needed you should see if a local fish store can hold it for you; or even a friend you trust.

I think you should get a friend to do it for you cuz the things you mention are pretty easy to do. If you give it to someone you don't know, what will you do if something happened during your leave and the fish/coral dies, tank crash, etc.?
