Does anyone have any suggestions to feeding my fish over the holidays?? I will be gone about 5 days. I usually only feed frozen foods, but would it be worth it to get a auto feeder and substitute dried foods? I really only have 2 fish to worry about,a carpenter wrasse and a clown fish. The other 2 feed off the LR.

I bribe the custodian at school to feed the tank at school. But, this year there is no open gym for basketball and the custodians are off for a week. So, I had to bribe the VP offered up sushi for lunch :w00t and he is letting me in the school to feed.

Unfortunately most of the guys around here are off for vacation as well, but I will see about getting someone else to do it. If not I will grab a feeder from petsmart.

Sorry Louie I hate that place too, but I've tried to get the lfs here to get stuff I need, but they either seem to take too long or kinda forget about it. I'll probably pick one up in Austin, hopefull the dome or auatek have them in stock. If not, a petsmart I will go!!
