The minimum number of courses I recommend is Those pyramid ones were actually more popular with my fish. There had been no contact with these ones. In two weeks, I came back to my home to find my two huge gold fish (I've had both for two years) alive and the tank shining crystal-clear. There are 10 gallons of water in my tank It has always been my preference to buy those pyramids rather than use the one you show*fracnine
Fish of different sizes require different cooking methods. This is what I use in a 15 gal guppy tank with approximately 60-70 fish I keep 70 guppies in it and it works fine. In a larger 37 gallon tank I keep ten 3 lb tanks A fish that is 5 inches bigger. The tanks are equipped with two blocks each
I think a tablet can be taken for 14 days on a full tablet, and for 7 days on a half tablet. It is likely that this tablet will last 9 - 12 months There are 10 days left. It sure seems like they work. I have used them a couple times and the fish have been swimming when I returned.
A package containing two blocks is included in the package.

Interestingly, I tried this product for 14 days before my actual trip, and I found it to be very effective. In addition, a large portion of the vacation feeder block was still in excellent My 21 day vacation was almost here, so it was time to head home. A week before my trip, I cleaned my tank, added one vacation feeder food block to the tank, and positioned it in a safe spot. As a result, it needed to be operational for 24 consecutive I returned to my tank to find that it was still in great shape and that the food was still there. I noticed that my under gravel air filter was filthy and there were traces of white food powder visible on my rocks. However, I usually clean it every 21 days, so that's not a problem. The tank has a capacity of 2 1/2 gallons, a height of 34 inches and a diameter of 6 inches. Additionally, 5 fish live in this area and there is a pothos plant rooted into its base. Additionally, I covered 98% of the top with press n seal in order to prevent total water loss during the trip. My estimate was that at the rate I was losing water (where I was losing a quarter inch of water per day) and combined with a vacation feeder food block, my tank would be like a thick soup in Nevertheless, the press n seal system cut down on water loss/evaporation considerably, and the vacation feeder did well as.
I found this to be a bad idea since it didn't dissolve and my fish were extremely When I left my fish with some friends, I placed the fish feeder inside, and when my friends noticed that the fish were still hungry, they gave them their regular feeding. After a period of two weeks, I found the big block of wood still in the water. It hadn't broken down. There was even one death among my fish. The item I am reviewing is not recommended.
He felt like he was holding a piece of hard It was a week after it was in the water that I cut it in half to check if it was actually containing FOOD for the fish inside. When I tried to break it with a screwdriver as a chisel, I couldn't. So I used a hammer and a screwdriver as a chisel The contents of the package did not appear to be fish food at all. There was plaster-like substance on top of the slab Material that looks like this. Fish is not allowed as food.
My observation of the tank decorations is that they have some kind of deposit, most likely the material from which the decorations are made. A week is probably enough time to use this product. It is likely that you will need to clean the tank after using the fish tank.
After 24 hours, I removed one tablet from the aquarium and left two goldfish in the tank. The friend who checked on the house added a second tablet at day 8 (claiming that the original one had dissolve). We returned from vacation to find that the second tablet had already dissolved somewhat. There is good news to report Despite the fact that my fish remain alive and healthy, I have a crystal-clear tank. The food that they ate seems to be what they consumed. The bad news is This tablet could not be left alone for more than a week without the fish getting sick. I have a pretty good dissolved rate in my water. Several recommendations follow Get a feel for these tablets before you go on vacation so you know if they suit your needs. It's impossible to predict how they will behave in your tank until you give them a try.
For about five days, we used one of these feeding tabs in our aquarium. There was a lot of cloudiness in the water. In an effort to keep the water clear, I am forced to clean the tank every other day. Because of the amount of food and dust that was released, the filter is clogged and does not work.
We came back from our 10-day vacation to find that all the fish were still alive, but a partial feeding block at the bottom of the tank had rotten. I don't know why so will wait until the second one to see if it happens again.
I used one 14-day supply before returning it to the store. When I was on vacation for 12 days, I kept my two tetras in a 10 gallon tank on a 24 hour feeding block. When I returned from earlier trips, the entire block was nearly in tact!! When I have used other brands for 7 days, the feeder block has been largely intact upon my return. I'm just shocked that it still worked so well after 12 days!! As per the instructions, I had the correct temperatures and filtration system so in theory, the feeder should have been able to dissolve properly, but it did not. After I removed the block, it left a huge mess of white powder Fortunately, this was only a temporary issue, and as far as I can tell, it did not pose a serious problem. However, I hate to see my poor fish starving.
