Holiday

Hiya guys

Well the time has come for the annual holiday which this year is in Tunisia.
I have been told by a couple of people that as i am only going to be away
for 7 days then the tank should be ok, but this is as long as the fish have
sufficient food to eat and the "chemistry" is with in acceptable levels The
tank has been setup now for just a shade over 12 months with not too many
problems, but i do have a bit of an algae problem.

My water parameters a

Nitrate 10ppm
Nitrite 0.00ppm
Ammonia 0.00ppm
Phosphate 0.05ppm
Copper 0.00ppm
PH 8.2
Salinity 1.025

My livestock is:

1x Fireball Angel
2x Maroon Clowns
1x Strawberry fish
1x bicolour blenny
6x Redlegs
1x Blueleg
1x Blue Starfish

What advice would you guys give to reduce the possibility of coming back to
a tank full of dead fish?

Cheers guys

Don't leave. (My best advice!)

It sounds realively light, as a bio-load, unless the tank is quite small. Your
stats look good, although you mentioned a problem with aglae in your tank. What
about having someone come by daily to just make sure all *looks* normal? They
could replenish evaporated water while they were there.
