Hi all,
I'll be going away for about 4 weeks or so and I don't have anyone to look after my tank. The kids next door come in and feed for me sometimes but I wouldn't get them to do a water change. I'll be getting an auto feeder to take care of that part but I'm not sure how to handle maintenance. I usually do a 1/6th water change weekly. I know I can use a PH buffer to control that and something to deal with the amonia. Also if I drop the amount of food I give them, that should help. (There is only 1 neon tetra left so I don't expect to see that when I return) Is there anything else I can do?
