What’s everybody’s holiday process for leaving tanks?
I’ll be away for 3 weeks this Christmas, the new tank I’m not to worried about as I’ll just leave to continue fishless cycle. Will top up to capacity and cover tank and sump as much as possible to minimize evaporation.
Second tank is running 7-8 hour light cycle what would be best to reduce this to? 4-5 hours? I think I’ll try an auto feeder for this tank as normal friend that feeds will also be away for parts of Christmas etc. they will be able to check on things in between.
It’s a juwel tank anyone using their auto feeder? Or an alternative that works with the factory position?
I also dose daily with the aquascaper complete liquid plant food should I continue this up to the day I leave? Or reduce dosing the week before?
