Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi all...and everyone else
Um...well I"m going away for 4 days tmoro (help quick! ) and my lighting timer has decided to die, it can only turn my light off...not on! DOH!
Um...so would it be better to keep my aquarium light on or off for 4 days? I have a skylight on my roof so if I leave the light off...the tank will still get a little natural light (or is this no good anyways?). Hmmm....
My flight is at about 6 in the morning. So I was thinking that I could turn my aquarium light on before I leave for the airport...then the timer can turn the lights off however later i pre-decide...so that the aquarium will only be without light for like 3 days...sound ok?
If I do this, how long should I keep the light on for? The max I can keep it on for is 24 hours from setting it. So perhaps i could leave the light on a whole 24 hours then have it turn off for the rest of the time I"m away?
Please help me out
many thanks.
Ry.
ps. I'm also running a presurized C02 setup...should I turn it off while I'm away and with the crazy lighting?
