Ok, I have has my 10gal tank for a week now. I did my first water change yesterday and my API FW matter test kit is supposed to come in tomorrow so I can start testing my parameters... Unfortunately, I'm leaving town in about an hour. None of my family will be home for the weekend! My dad will be at the house until saturday morning but he has no idea how to care for fish. I told him how much to feed my fish for tomorrow and Saturday morning before he leaves.we are all coming back Sunday afternoon. I know fish can survive a day without food but what about the light?? Especially since I'm in the beginning of a cycle?? 8-12 hours are suggested is what I've read. But no one will be here to turn the light on or off, I don't have a timer either?? Should I just leave them off?? And should I do a water change before I leave??
