Aquarium Advice Apprentice
29 gallon FOWLR - no sump or skimmer
I will be leaving town for 2-3 months. I will sell my three fish back to the store and be left with a fishless tank. So feeding the critters is not a problem. Now what? Should I drain the water completely? I don't want to lose all of my coraline algae and my ecosystem. It may be that if I leave a fishless tank that it would all die anyway and I would end up with a nasty, hairy algae pot.
Has anybody ever done this before - left a running tank for an extended period of time with no fish in it? I could get somebody to come about once per month to top up the water.
