I’m going on vacation around mid February and I wanted to know how you guys were able to take care of your tanks if you had gone to vacation for about two weeks. I’ve seen automatic feeders, but I’ve never tried it. I also have a cat that needs to be taken care of, so I was wondering how you guys feel about having someone feeding the fish . I’m a bit weary because I don’t want them to be overfed and by the time I come back, there is any problems with the tanks parameters etc and my fishies. I’m also planning on doing a huge water change before I travel to make sure that the parameters remain stable during my time away. I have pothos which is helping immensely keeping nitrates at around 10-20ppm

Any suggestions, advice, speak from experience, will really help. Thank you all in advance.
