Vacation

[kadamik]

I will be going on vacation for 9 days. I will have a friend come over about 3 times to feed the fish and make sure everything looks ok. He will feed the complete aquarium with Reef frenzy and feed the eel frozen squid.

I will also have an auto feeder with TDO Chroma Boost and mix in some algae pellets. It will go off in the morning once a day. (Please see schedule below)

Hoping the auto feeder will feed:
Clownfish, Tang, goby, and blenneys, CUC

Couple of questions:

Should I buy saltwater feeding shrimps?
Can I put the shrimp in my sump with my skimmer until I leave on vacation ?
What fish do I have that will eat the shrimp? My guess is the Eel, Puffers, triger


Live Stock

2 small clownfish
small yellow tang
3 inch valentin puffer
2 inch blue spot puffer
diamond goby
11 inch snowflake eel
1.5 inch humu triger
bicolor bleney
midas bleney
CUC snails, crabs, etc

Have you fed your fish pellets with an autofeeder before? It's generally a good idea to get them used to this beforehand.

Yes, I have feed them with TDO chroma boost before. They love it but I usually only do it as a snack. I think the reef frenzy is much better for them. But you make a great point, I don't think the blennies have had it before so I will try it with them.

Your plan sans shrimp is fine.
