    ok for the fish, u can get an automatic feeder, i have one where u put food in this cylinder and it spins every 12 hours for the coral u might want to get some auto drippers if u have the money if not get the gravity drippers, kent makes some good ones :)

    That feeder may work, but I think you should also get a friend to stop in now and then and deal with evaporation, etc.. maybe a local fish store or club can help.

    Karma for joining. :)

    Thanks so much guys for advising. Attached are 2 shots of my small 46gal tank.. not as nice as I see some here... just found out about this forum today. As I use freezer food for the fish, how can I use an auto feeder as it will get bad... hmm. Gotta think...;)

    Great looking tank! Worth getting someone to take care of it while you are gone. ;)
