Big load off today. Usps says my light module should arrive mon. Havent been turning on and off or ramping reliably. Part was stuck in china limbo for a month.

Anyone else traveling to see fam and nervous to trust the autopilot?
 
I am probably one of the lucky few that has an aunt to take care of everything for them. She will even medicate and do freshwater dips if needed. We had to leave town one time while we were treating our porcupine puffer, and he needed a freshwater dip. After that he spit at my aunt and cousin everytime the came over. He wasn't eating his food good enough for my cousin, so she thawed and cut the tails off of every shrimp, then fed them individually to him. He spit water at us for a little while after we came back home lol
 
Yep major anxiety over here. Forgot to get a webcam and I fly out tomorrow. I have a cheap 40b and I'm more worried, than anything else, that I'm going to come home to saltwater all over the floor.

Wow!

Aunt sounds like the bomb. Are you sure it's not her tank and you're just the tank sitter ;)
 
I am very nervous as we speak. 2 webcams help some.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 15.0%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
