Going out of town

bizzyblake · 06/15/2008, 07:33 AM

Ok I am going out of town for two days. I donot have a ato and I am leaving in a few min. I toped off my tank with a little extra freshwater to try to make up for the day that I am gone. My lights are on a timer. Anything else I should do before I go?? I keep the room that the tank is in at about 73 and I dont get much evaporation so I think I will be ok. Wish me luck. I would hate to come back to a F***** up tank.

I don't know about a 3g but i leave my 75g for week end all the time i hope all goes well good luck. if yo are worried about hang a bottle of water upside down with the neck at your low water line when the water reaches that level the water in the bottle will drain in to the tank
