blue tang is a business that would check in on it I guess. I wouldn't expect them to feed everyday though. I would consider a $20 auto flake or pellet feeder. you can spend more but not really needed. hook up an auto top off and have a neighbor make sure it is still running every couple days.

right near the Home Depot on the Valrico/Brandon border. My neighbor is a little flaky unfortunately. Ive done the auto/topoff for 3 days out of a garbage can. not too worried about the fish . I might just disconnect the ozone for a few days and not worry about it.. Cymbiline, Ill shoot you a PM

I have Tampa Aquarium Service take care of my tank whenever I leave town. John's reliable, honest, & he's very knowledgeable.
He even installed a closed loop for me.

I highly recommend him.

His # is (813) 486-4798.
Hope this helps.

John does do great work, Ive worked with him on some big tank relocations and he knows his stuff.
