Hello! I am brand new at this and reading and researching as much as possible. I have a AIO 100 Gallon Tank (60" x 18" x20")...started in mid-December with salt water from my lfs, dry rock and live sand. I used Dr Tim's One and Only process for the cycle. One question I have that I haven't seen much discussion on is now that I have cycled the tank, how long can I leave it empty. The reason I ask is that we are leaving town next week for 4 weeks and I don't want to add anything that needs attention while I'm gone. I have 2 dogs so a neighbor will be around every day if I need him. Can I just leave the tank as is? Will I come back to a mess of algae? Is there anything I should ask the neighbor to do while we're away? As soon as I return, I'll begin adding livestock. I have a quarantine tank ready to go. I'll have a ton of questions once I start that process.
Attached is a picture of the tank....my husband created the aquascape...do you think there's enough rock?
Thanks for any information you can provide
