Does anyone else ignore their tanks all summer?
I obsess with my tanks during the winter, but when summer rolls around the poor fish are lucky if they get fed once a week! They're still fat though...lotsa crap in the dirty summer tank for them to eat!

I find I'm pretty consistent. Summer is the time for the tank to have issues with chiller fuses blowing and the like so I've become a little more vigilant. I think I have a system that works for me now and a great tanksitter for when we're away. I must admit though, the tank has a few more skipped meals with it being light out later though. They're all a bunch of lardbutts tho so its not a big deal (even though I feel horribly guilty about it sometimes).

the weekends get tough, like satellite said, especially if its nice out. Camping is kinda what we do, but i do feel guilty sometimes. I need a reliable tank sitter to keep me totally at ease i think lol.

I noticed Ive slacked off too. Feeling guilty, but I guess Im not alone. I more slack on tank cleanings and water changes. I have to do another change here quick, getting GSA buildup on the sand

I can see how younger people with lives would get distracted with holidays and stuff.
I left hubby for four days and he was topping off and cleaning, but oops, he never even thought to feed. The fish were all lined up in a row at the front of the tank when I came home, and I said...hey, I missed you guys too ! (not knowing...) Trig ate the cleaners he had lived with for a year...oops....
