    Hi Guys,
    I am about to go out of town for a week and have someone coming over to take care of the tank while I am gone. I will be gone for a week. I have been feeding the tank about a 1/2 cube of food rinsed in RO water and drained. I have also been soaking it in selcon and garlic. I doubt that the person taking care of the tank (a very nice neighbor) is going to want to go through all of the trouble I do, so I was wondering if I could do as much as possible before I leave. We will be gone for an entire 7 days. Would it be okay to rinse the food and soak it and put it in the refrigerator? That way all she would have to do is add a little water and feed? Thanks in advance!!!!

    Regards,
    Ivy

    Thanks for the reply. I didn't know if it would be better or safe to refreeze it, but that is an idea. Thanks!!!
