So Im leaving for a vaca in a week and I Use an aquatic life 115 skimmer. It has a very small collection cup. Im emptying it at least once a day. I cant ask people to come by once a day to empty it for me so Im thinking one of 3 things.
Either
a) Im going to drill a hole in the collection cup and make a drain to larger container. Which would be nice all around, Be it the cup wont crack.
b) Reconnect a very ghetto piece of pipe I Used while the skimmer was breaking in. This works but I do believe it makes it a bit less efficient.
c) My buddy says "ah just turn it off for the week, youll be fine"
Im wary on C because the tank was just freshly cycled not to long ago. I did JUST install an HOB refugium (with a TINY piece of cheato moss) and the tank (29gal) has about 55 lbs of live rock so who knows maybe it will be good.
What do you guys think? Im honestly leaning towards drilling a hard drain into the collection so I wont have to empty it so often.
