Hey guys, so I’m going on vacation for a week and have a buddy watching my tank. To make it easier for him I was going to have him feed my tank once every other day (3 or 4 times) while I’m gone. Would this be acceptable? I have 2 clowns in a 75 gallon tank. Thanks!!

If it’s only clowns I would say that’s fine. Do you have an anemone? If so that would be my one concern. Not sure what type or how you feeding them but I have a pair of large maroon clowns that get a quarter of a cube of food a day and the are very healthy

Ok I think you are fine then. Just go back to your regular schedule when you get back. Don’t over feed.

I had a friend crash a freshwater tank of mine by overfeeding. maybe put food in a week pill counter so you can measure out exactly how much to feed. hopefully it doesnt all go down the overflow
if it is only for a week I wouldn't worry about it....
feed 1/3 more for 2-3d before you leave then let them diet for the 7d while u gone and back to a regular feeding when u return (my $0.02 worth all you paid for it)
if you really think that is cruel just put 1 days food in a baggie tape it to the front of aquarium (hide the rest of the food) and say on the middle day to feed that 1 bag (they will eat it before it messes up anything)
