So I've left my tanks in the hands of my co-workers I work in an office and someone is usually their.
1st time I asked one of my coworkers to unplug my light to reduce evaporation (I had made this decision after I was out of state) to reduce top offs (I leave gallon jugs of R/O water for top offs) Co-worker instead turned my timer ON instead of on timer tank got atleast 72hrs of straight light and a huge algea bloom.
2nd time I simply asked for top offs and paid a co-worker to do them on the weekend everything went fine.
3rd time I again asked for just top offs...apparently they forgot when in the office yesterday and maybe even the day before spent over an hour getting all the bubbles off my frags my rainbow acan was PO'd along with some other things...can't seem to find my pom pom crab....I was going to get an ATO for the Nano but decided to wait as Cultivated Reef is upgrading and I've called dibs on his old ato....I also trusted my coworkers with the simple job of pouring water into the back of a tank guess I expected too much.
I've heard of a lot of horrible tank sitter stories and I tried to simplify the task there was no water changes, no dosing, not even feeding....and well if it can happen it will.
What are your tank sitter horror stories.
