Okay so I'll be going away for two weeks. Not easy to get anyone to check the tank for me while I'm away so thinking about how I'll play it.
My tank is 125L, Co2, EI, and 6ml easycarbo each day at the moment. All the plants are looking really healthy and things are thriving so I'm not keen on it all going wrong while I'm away.
I also have about 25 small tetras in there too - will they be okay??.
I'm thinking reduce my lighting to say 15% output (grobeam 600 x 2), leave Co2 (gas) as it is now, dose a lot of ferts before I leave, I have no way of auto dosing easycarbo so it will be going 'cold turkey' on that front.
As for the fish I could maybe get someone to pop in and feed them at the end of week one, but would they be okay for two weeks?
Anything else I should do? Should I start to 'wean' the plants off of the easycarbo now or is there no logic in that?
All advice welcome
Thanks
