    ha i think im winning i had a chat with my mom and my dad has stopped feeding and topping off.i have also taped all my lids on my foods shut so its more of a pain to open them aswell as added color coded post it notes to my ro water and stuck them on my tanks lol. seems to be working.

    im abit worried im leaving the country for a week fri and taking care of the tanks is all on my parents.im still working out the kinks on my controller trying to figure it out exactly how to set this thing up so atleast i can control the lights and check on the temp and ph. :/

    Can you set up an auto feeder?

    When I go on vacation, I fill the little shot glass sized plastic cups with the right amount of food for each feeding. It takes the guess work out. You could do the same when not on vacation to train your Dad on the proper amount of food to use.
