I try to ignore my tanks all the time! They seem to do better that way.

I try to keep up with the basics, but even that gets a bit neglected at times in the summer. I do have my tanks set up so they are fairly self sufficient without much need for me to meddle with them daily. Biggest thing is to keep the TO water filled. I usually try to fit in a vacation or two in the summer, and the tanks have to look after themselves then. Auto feeders are great, as is my Aquatronica controller; these technical marvels keep things running smoothly and happily. I don't do much in the way of adding livestock in the summer since all my money is being spent on motorcycles. Most of my time too.
