![]() And I'm FREAKING out about leaving my tank in my Hubby's care
![]() Any basics I should tell him to watch for?? I've only had it for about 6 months and I'm pretty obsessive about it lol ....is it weird I'm more nervous about leaving the tank for the first time than I am my 2.5year old daughter?? ![]() Also, I recently got a pair of onyx clowns. Any suggestions of what they might like to host?? My tank is way too young for an anemone |

![]() Number one, don't add an anemone just before you go away.
Tell us some details about your tank. Also, tell you hubby to log in here and ask any questions if there's a problem. Tell him tank problems can be expensive. ![]()

![]() Aye tell him to log on here if he isn't sure its better to ask a question with an easy answer than to ask no question at all.
And most SW hobbyists are OCD to some degree or another it is a lot of time and money and hand wringing involved Be better if we knew your tank size and what you have for fish/coral as well

![]() Clowns will host just about anything I have a lot of coral to choose from in the tank but my clowns are hosting my yellow tail damsel which is quite hilarious actually

![]() I just went to PR for 3 days and left my tanks in my parents' care.
I topped up the tank (do you have auto-topoff?) I prepped the food ahead of time. I explained thoroughly what needs to be done. I would have a bucket of top-off water set aside to top off your tank. Also prepackage the food into daily portions (no-brainer - each day feed this amount and nothing more) - overfeeding is usually a major problem with inexperienced. Give them a contact number of a local reefer (if you know any) they can call in an emergency.
