glennr1978 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just bought an ATO to get used to it and begin tank preparations for being gone for 2.5 weeks Is there anyone around to watch over the tank while you are gone? Link to comment
kguske2 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Is there anyone around to watch over the tank while you are gone? My dad will be able to stop by once a day. He's helped in the past but is never good at topping off so this makes one less thing he has to do Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah, I'd get a babysitter, like Glenn said. I know I'd never leave that long without worrying to death about things. You've got a lot of nice coral and I assume money tied up in that little tank of yours. Spectra pure UPLC IINice top off, very trustworthy. Link to comment

I know I'll be worried like no other so I'm doing everything I can to ensure as little can go wrong as possible. Obviously can't be completely fool proof but I'm trying my best! Link to comment

That's all you can do . Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just send me all your zoas and paly's. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just send me all your zoas and paly's. You know, that's really not a bad idea. If it were me I would likely be more comfortable knowing that my prized z's and p's were being watched over by someone with some knowledge and experience rather than the guy that forgets to top off (no offence!!). IMO, it would be worth the $100 to ship them there and back. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I know I'd send mine to Zach at the digital Fishroom. He's a good friend, and trustworthy. It's nice to have someone you could fall back on. Link to comment

I'm fortunate enough to have a couple of people locally that I would not only trust with my tanks, but with a key to my house, lol. BA has been getting a crash course in reefing. He'll have it down sooner than later. I'm sure I could bribe him with corals to come babysit my stuff. Something to think about. Hmmm. That'd be one heavy box! And no offense taken, especially since it's true Zoas really don't need much water for shipping. Granted, it would still be pretty heavy since you have so many sweet corals. Better make that $120-$140 for shipping. Still worth it considering the thousands you have invested in livestock, IMO. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I check on my babies many times a day, blowing off fish poop and any debris accumulating. I'm sure everything will be cool. Link to comment
kguske2 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hadn't even thought of this idea. Definitely will be giving it some thought Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You need to post some more pics. Are you gonna start glueing some of those in? I'm hoping to get a camera tomorrow if everything pans out. Finally have some better shots. Link to comment

I'm hoping to get a camera tomorrow if everything pans out. Finally have some better shots. I was actually going to start placing them all the day I found the nudi. Figured it would be easier to monitor them all for signs of trouble from the racks so I left them there. Haven't seen anymore and can't find any eggs but still waiting a bit to glue em down. There's nothing new to take pictures of! I'll see what I can come up with Forget new cameras, how many tanks you got going now?? I saw the 60 in one thread and talk of another! Link to comment

The 60 was suppose to be for when we moved, but............it's calling my name. It's still in the suv, might put it in storage or just upgrade now. Decisions? I just figured you got that sweet azz camera, why not. How about some selfies. Link to comment
