I don't work for anybody
Here is my tank plan for going out of town. I have always had a problem with my sump running dry - granted I don't have that ugly top off thing like Biff, but I do have a solution. I unhooked the U-tubes to the tank and let some water run into the tank and then I unplugged my sump and let it sit. I then took out a heater and put it directly into the tank to help keep the water a stable temp. Now, I don't have to worry about the water level at all for the next 5 days. My neighbor is coming by on Friday to put in food for both tanks. He cannot possibly screw it up. I will return to happy tanks!
