Vacations and Holidays

Fish can be left alone for a weekend with few problems. Vacation foods are available to provide nutrition to the fish in a slow release block. They also neutralize and purify the water. Ensure a constant flow of water sasses over them. pH should not be highly alkaline or have high hardness content. These factors can hinder or totally inhibit the proper dissolving of food blocks. In an extended absence it is best to have a friend or neighbor look in on the aquarium occasionally. The Nutra-Matic Automatic Digital Food Distributor is a battery driven reservoir that dispenses measured or controlled amounts of flakes, pellets or freeze-dried food twice a day. This is an ideal way to provide food to fish while you are away.
