I enjoy reefing when I'm home, but I like to travel, which puts me in a position of ensuring that my livestock can be taken care of - in my case, the fish I have are easy in that no special diet is needed and an automated feeder is all that's needed. Corals - well, being photosynthetic,, I don't necessary need to feed them anything extra other than the light that they need.

I'm setting up yet another tank, and I like to have the same set up; however, in planning for the livestock choices, I guess I'm limited to just fish that I know will take flakes - ie. clownfish, damsels, cardinals. I really wanted to get into the Goby type of fish, but all my source local fish stores that carry them says they don't eat flakes, so if I get one, someone would need to come in and feed them, which is an arrangement that I guess limits me to just 'normal' fish such as those mentioned above.

Unless I'm missing a particular type of livestock, please do share. Also, non fish as well...ie. Anemones, which require weekly feeding, etc.

Many gobies, and blennies will take dry food as will dwarf angels
