I used to think that, but believe me when they get hungry enough they eat anythingI can't leave it more than one day if I don't have someone feeding my fish because they are too picky to eat pellets or flakes.

Idk it’s a copperband that I would have to work at getting to eat pelletsI used to think that, but believe me when they get hungry enough they eat anything
That’s crazy! Also equally crazy that the blue ridge covered the entire front glass. That’s one I’ve been looking for and way hard to find.How long is too long? I guess that depends on when something decides to go way wrong! It could be an hour after you leave or a year
As it were - my tank ran without any (I mean zero) intervention for 5+ years with absolutely zero maintenance, testing, skimming, water changes, dosing or anything else. I did toss in a few pinches of food once or twice a year. The only "automation" was the ATO and to that end, the filters were never changed. At best I looked at the tank once every 6 months for 2 mins, but that was kind of pointless as blue ridge coral had encrusted the entire front panel. Over the 5+ year period the salinity dropped significantly due to salt creep but that happened so slowly that everything appears to have adapted.
-Scopas Tang
-Coral Beauty
-Arc Eye Hawkfish (no idea what he ate)
-mushrooms
-brain coral
-blue ridge coral
-leather corals
-palythoa
All of the SPS perished.
Since that time I have added automated in the form of a Profilux with dosing (triton). I like to look at the tank when I get a chance, but that can sometimes be 2-3 weeks in between. I still do very little in the way of maintenance. Mostly just cleaning the skimmer once a month or so.
