     |  How was your experience with aquarium sitters?
Having just returned from a trip, I noticed that my tank suffered in my absense. Looks like magnesium dropped off the map and my pH is whack. Corals are seriously grumpy. Gotta luv nanos! 
My sitters did pretty well though. No dry pumps, etc..

Funny you should mention this.
I also just got back from a trip (St. Lucia to be specific)
My sitter just so happens to be an employee of the store I do some consulting for as well as living within 1 mile of my house.
So to that a big thanks to the best sitter ever - Ben. -Thanks.

What about those of us who are afraid to leave for more than two days at a time because you don't have or trust a sitter
