    going on holiday for 2 weeks... do i need to feed?

    ive had my marine tank set up for several months now, and everything is going good. I have'nt put in any fish yet as I knew we had a holiday planned and didnt want none dying when we were away

    we have a CUC tho in the tank, not much, 10 turbo snails, 3 hermit crabs and 2 cleaner shrimp

    my shrimp are fed by hand once a day, and theres enough algae etc in the tank for the snails and crabs

    will i need some-one to come in and feed my shrimp? or will they find enough in the tank for 2 weeks?

    i can have some-one pop in maybe twice when im away to top up the water with RO water and add abit of food, will that be enough??

    the lights will be on a timer, so no problem there...

    any advice pls?Smile

    sorry no experience with marines, but freshwater species are fine for 1 week, maybe buy a decent auto feeder?
