Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm going on a 10 day vacation in a couple of weeks and am wondering about the best way to keep things going while I'm gone without coming back to an algae farm.
We will likely have someone stopping by 2-3 times for other pets and plants, so I can get this person to do whatever is needed.
I dose PPS-Pro and Excel daily (no CO2). I was thinking about reducing the light period to 6 hours, but is feeding 2-3 times during 10 days going to be enough? Also, what will likely happen to my tank if I don't dose ferts and Excel during this time? I think it's too complicated to ask of our "sitter" and I'm not sure that a good dose of Excel only 2-3 times will be effective due to the half life, but I suppose it couldn't hurt.
