Default What to do when going on Vacation....

So I'm pushing around the idea of going on vacation for 2-3 weeks...

For people without family or capable friends nearby, how do people keep their tanks going in their absense? Is there a Fish Sitting service?

I really don't want to come back to a tank full of algae (or worse, a crashed tank).

I'm not going for a long while.. just something I wanted to think about...

Thanks for your feedback.

Pssst. Willow. Xtasia's a "she".

But now that you mentioned it, there were some nice fish/corals in the tank when I saw it in November. Clams too. Don't worry Ivy, they'll be well "taken" care of

Totally awesome dinner SHF! I haven't had such a nice spread in ages!

It was nice meeting you Willow.. you are a very beautiful Redheaded woman...

Hrrrmmphhh.. anyone have ideas for fishsitters that doesn't include Fragnapping? :P

Thanks! ( I will definitely need to take you up on the offers, if it ever comes down to that.... I will owe you one in return.)
