Ditto on the salt. H2Ocean is one of my fav. Although I will occasionally rotate in a WC with RC still, just for fun. So who gets to tank sit during the Christmas holidays?

This tank, shouldn't need much babysitting... My office tank however will, I am topping off my ATO Friday which will last till monday, then my manager will come in monday to 2 pre-filled jugs of water to top up the ATO which will last until I get back in on Friday. As for feedings, I am going to use an Autofeeder with flake/pellet for the weekend, manager will feed Frozen and Nori on Monday and the autofeeder will take care of xmas day and boxing day. Skimmer should be ok for the entire time I'm gone. I'm also leaving a 35G batch of fresh SW in the case that things go horribly wrong. *knock on wood*!

oops sorry, had a bit of a brain fart there, ya I was thinking of your office tank with that question more than this tank. Always thought about doing something at my office but the whole issue around vacations and holidays has me wondering if that would actually work for us here. In other words I would not really trust any of my co-workers with a tank

I wouldn't say I have FULL faith in them. And even after leaving detailed instructions on what to do each day while I was away, they forgot/missed a few things, but this is a conversation for my other thread.


On the other hand...

I installed the RO/DI before leaving for christmas holidays and ran it for about 1.5hr as per the instructions. (Which only recommended 30mins actually, but I prefer to run longer for the initial flush)

Got home from the airport about 10pm tonight, got settled in and unpacked... figured it was time to turn this bad boy on!

I'm working on it!



Seeing how I was out of the province on boxing day I didn't get to do any reef shopping so I took today off work to stop by a few places and grab a few more things for this build. I was looking to grab my new skimmer, but that will have to wait it appears. Otherwise I picked up my 2nd MP10, a bottle of Zeobak (and was hoping to get some Zeostart3, but Concept was sold out), and also picked up a stock 20H tank for my SW mixing station (not photographed)
