Just want to get a feel for what you guys would do in my situation...
I am going away for spring break (9 days) and was just planning to leave my tank as is for 9 days with RO/DI dripping for top off and the fish can eat the pods, etc.
i come to find out today that the school will be doing construction in my bathroom over the break. i have no control over this so dont say something like "dont let them"
on top of this horrible situation they will be changing my locks so i wont even be able to hire someone to stop in an check on the tank - not to mention giving my keys away is against the rules so im screwed there...
the best i can think of is to ask my boss to stop in once every day or so to make sure that the fish are still swimming...
they told me that they would seal off the tank area, but i think i am going to tell them not to do that because i dont want the gas exchange to be too low and have CO2 build up or have the sealed area get too hot... i think ill recommend that they just seal off the bathroom REALLY REALLY well to prevent concrete dust, etc from being in the air around the tank...
im also going to put up signs in english and in spanish warning people to not touch the tank or the water in the tank... ill put some very scary warnings about the zoas having paly toxin and how that can put them in the hospital if they dont know what they are doing (not untrue, but unlikely...)
what do you guys think? im meeting with the big boss tomorrow to let him know what i want to do, so the sooner i get some tips the better...

) to my FSU dorm, I just broke it down and hauled it off to the LFS, who I had gotten friendly with the owner, since it was a small mom-and-pop shop, and he kept it for me for the 2 weeks or w/e that break was.
