going on vacation ....feeding

[gomezladdams]

Best is to just skip the feeind till you get back.Dont use the blocks,more bad stories about those than good ones.If you have someone you trust,you can lay out premeasured portions for feeding but thats more risky than no food

I would do a big power feed then a water change and they should be fine... I have left my rays with no food for 4 days and had now problem...

yep no food is better than food blocks. I heard, don't know if its right, that the blocks are actually chalk with the food inside. They do turn water cloudy and horrible and I have alot of people come in saying the block didn't dissolve at all aswell.

I would just go enjoy the vacation theyll hang low till u get back.

I have been away for a full week in the past and didnt feed my 50 Gal community, and i came back to a sparkling tank. Plus it is true, in the wild they do go days and weeks with no food, so for 4 days... it will probable do them good as they will scavange the tank and eat all floating particles and loose algae.
