well it all depends on what you normally do during any given 5 day period. I will do a water change the day before and make sure my skimmer and water levels are set correctly, add a dry food feeder and have a auto top off setup. other than that be ready to come home to glass covered in algae.

Tear the whole tank down and give it all to many NARCers. The only way to prevent a total tank crash.


Or you could just do nothing. :bigsmile:

For 5 days I would even turn off the returm pump to insure the pump doesn't run dry/prevent floods, and so on.

but then my tank didn't have auto topoff and used a hob overflow. Plus was much simpler.

But basically with the lights on a timer the tank sould be fine for 5 days.

What will really get you wondering is if you come back and the tank looks better.
