So an opportunity has come up at work for a 3-6 month period working in New Jersey, USA.
My tank has been running for 1 month so is no way near fully grown out. I only have amano and ottos in there at the moment. Am dosing 25ml per day of Ei. Lights are on for 8 hours and C02 is on for 10 hours. And I'm doing at least a 50% WC weekly.
If I get accepted I was going to rip it all out and start again when I'm back. But a mate of mine said about leaving it running while I'm away. Thing is the misses wont do a WC on the tank but she will be ok with topping up the water when it gets too low. I can get auto dosing pumps for the ferts and the misses can wipe the glass down every day easily enough with the magnetic cleaner.
If I was to keep the tank running while I'm away, what times do you think I should reduce the lighting and C02 down to, seeing there will be no regular WCs getting done? My mate did say he'd do a WC on the tank for us but I'd say that'll be maybe once a month
