Vacation feeding

[BioMan]

Hey, since every tank is different I figure I'd ask this for my own situation. I have 2 tanks running that I feed everyday like this
Oyster feast morning(the corals seem to like it)
Cyclopeeze evening (corals and fish like it) while I wait for a cube of PE mysis (fish love it) to defrost then the 1 cube is enough for both tanks
Lights have always been on timers(except acclimation days)
I'll be gone a week, can't expect anybody to stop by twice a day what can I do?

i don't think you should or need to feed oyster feast daily, maybe bi weekly.
you should also include some flake or pellet food in their diet, it will also enable you to use an auto feeder for vac time. i think you'll be fine with out the oyster feast for a week.

I literally use a trace amount of the oyster stuff, like a few drops, so yeah I'll skip that but pellets flakes and an auto feeder for both tanks? Is it expensive, common?

maybe other members can chime in, but i feed flakes, pellets, live black worms and meaty food on an alternating basis.
auto feeders vary in price not sure how much.
I'm sure if you had a friend stop by every other day to feed they will be fine.

I feed my tank MarineS pellets by Hikari. Auto feeder 2 times daily. So never an issue goin on vaca
Occasionally a sheet of algae.
