Good stuff
I used this product everytime I go on vacation and I have never lost a fish. My vacations are usually 10 to 14 days. It works.

I will use it again for vacation
I had tested this product for a14 days period before my actual trip and surprisingly it worked well. There was also a huge amount of the vacation feeder block left in great condition. So it was time for my real 21 day vacation. I cleaned my tank 3 days prior to my trip then added one vacation feeder food block in a secure spot of my tank. So it needed to work for a total of 24 days. When I got back my tank was in great shape and there was still food remaining. Down side was my under gravel air filter was really filthy, and there was a layer of white food powder visible on my rocks but that’s okay I usually clean it every 21 days. My tank is 2 1/2 gal, 34 inches tall and 6 inches round. It also has a long rooted pothos plant and is home to community of 5 fish. I also covered 98% of the top with press n seal for the trip to prevent total water loss. I figured that at the rate that my tank lost water (about 1/3 of inch a day) coupled with a vacation feeder food block would mean instant thick soup after 24 days. But the press n seal stop pretty much all water loss/evaporation and vacation feeder worked well.

My fish survived without incident
put this ‘two week’ block just before leaving on vacation.. The vacation turned out to be the vacation from heck, and almost twice as long, but my fish didn’t starve. They took to it right away, and it was all gone when i got home, but the fish were only hungry, not ravenous.

These work well when you are going to be away for a few days.
We have a 10-gallon tank with 2 goldfish and 1 snail, I have used these a couple of times and they do seem to work well. However, after the 14-day feeding period is over, It is good practice to change the water in the tank as they do add extra matter to the water.

3 gal tank and it worked
I have a 3 gal tank and one goldfish. I broke it into a third(ish) and it lasted nearly 16 days. Only some debris left in the rocks but otherwise fish survived 8 days away from it and water was fine. Good product.

Turned fish tank cloudy/milky do not buy
I’ve used slow dissolving fish food for years while going on trips without any issues. This one was horrible ! Turned the whole fish tank milky . It’s two weeks later – I’ve changed the water and filters several times and the tank is still not all the way clear . This was a total disaster , do not buy !!!!

Worked for my betta fish on 9 day vacation
I have a 10 gallon tank and this worked great for my betta while on a 9-day vacation. I did have to clean the tank once I got home because it was pretty dirty from this product, but it kept my cute betta alive and happy while I was traveling. 4 stars because one of them was broken in half but it still worked. I would recommend this if you’re traveling but if you have a smaller tank just use 1/2 of one. (I think they sell smaller size ones also)

Works!
Went away for 11 days. The fish was alive when we got home, one big goldfish. As others mentioned, there was some white residue, but not too bad.
