I put in lots of Mulberry leaves (fresh blanched), and dried IAL. It worked for me for the 2 weeks I was away in Nov this year.

If I was to go away again, that would be what I'd do - along with my new found foods - edible flowers.

There was still mulberry leaves in the tank when I returned. Mulberry leaves don't foul the water like processed foods if you put more than the normal amount in.

I would do a water change & clean out the filters about a week before, then a small WC a couple of days before & make sure your WP are correct, then I put a couple of dried mulberry leaves or soaked IAL(so it doesn't turn your water dark brown while your away) in so they won't be ready to eat for a few day & some kale so they have a few days of food till the mulberry leaves are ready & make sure there's a good biofilm in all the tanks to supplement the leaves. Put your lights on timers & you should be ok. :victorious:

thanks for comment guys :) how about temperature on summer? its tricky the last 2 days it was very hot about 30-33 degree. But the other day sometimes 24 degree :) its just small 25x25cm little tank with portable fan. At hot summer could be about 26 degree on tank, but with the fan it could turn down 19-22 degree by using timer on and off. just worrying if that to cold or to hot :Dits over killed if using chiller for 12L tank. although ive seen one fan with adjustable temp, if not wrong it made germany called denerlle. but its not available here at australia, and cant order from the web it self :Dsometimes i use fan + heater. so if to cold the heater will on till reach the temp you setting, and when its to hot the fan will work as your setting :Dnot sure if that will affect the shrimp though?
