I have a 15 gal column w/ a HOB, an 8" bubble wand, gravel substrate & NOT planted w/ heater.
I began my fish less cycle May 7th. I feel I'm nearing the end. Thinking about a PWC today, haven't changed it in almost 2 weeks. I'm going on vacation Thursday for one week! ACK!! Obviously I'll need to reevaluate my params right before the trip but what am I gonna do?? Would you get fish & let my pet keeper feed them ~OR~ turn the heat off (my house is 78 ) & just dose ammonia to 4.0ppm, pray for the best? I possibly could have my pet keeper put ammonia in there but don't wanna ask her to test the tank. Thanks!!
PH is stable @ 8.0
Temp: 84
Ammonia: 0.5ppm, 1.0ppm yesterday
NitrItes: >5.0ppm
NitrAtes: 40-80ppm, 40ppm yesterday
