Gotta go away for a few days and wondering if I do a hardy feeding tonigt if fish will be ok till fri with not being feed and prob natural sunlight only

How many days total? Do you have corals? So you thinking of turning off your lights for the time you are away? I bought an auto feeder which does the job and always a good idea to have a timer on your lights anyway

Just till Friday for sure. And yea lights off. Which maybe diatoms may go away finally. And no corals

Check out the enhiem auto feeders, good investment I think for short term stays away.

Most fish will do fine without feeding for 3 days. Some only feed 2 times per week anyhoo. As for light, if there is enough ambient light, they should be ok as well. Might want to consider a light timer, provides better control over lighting periods.

I have 2 timers ( sump light and DT powerheads). Both are rotary mechanical timers and work very good. Soon I will have to buy another, as 1 was the timer for my pool filter. Many years they have been used without problem.

I got mine from a hardware store. Much more durable. Unfortunately hardware stores don't add on speciality store mark-up so they usually don't cost as much (at the hardware store).
