I'm going back to Australia for the summer to see friends and family and to get married. I am formulating a plan to keep my tank running nicely during this time. Luckily, I'll have a friend using my apartment for June and July so I'll stay 2 weeks and teach him how to look after the tank.
For the month of August though, there will be noone living in my apartment so here's the plan:
-Before I leave in June I'll do a big water change, maybe 40-50% so there will be a lot of good water.
-In August I'll run an automatic feeder
-I'll pay someone who lives closeby (hopefully someone who knows what they're doing) to come in maybe twice per week to check on everything, feed some meaty foods and maybe do a water change.
What do you guys think? Am I forgetting something? Will I need auto-top off?
