We have run into a dilemma in the Saltwater tank world. We love the tank and everything about it and hell we are even starting up a 2nd tank in the near future.

This dilemma I speak of is who to have take care of the tank when we go on vacation. Its just not something that can be left unattended for 1 week. Our fish only eat frozen mysis and as much as I've tried different pellet food they want nothing to do with it. So an auto feeder is out.

As much time as I spend with my coworkers, The ones that I know could and have had saltwater tanks, I just dont want them in my house when I not home. I have no close family and my neighbors (who I trust more than my coworkers) I think are intimidated with the tank. I mean heck even every other day to feed them its tough to find someone. Whats the longest amount of days you would go not feeding the fish?

With out causing people to drive out of there way to check the tank what other options are there?
