I accidentally snapped off the airline connector elbow to my Aquamaxx HOB 1.5 Protein Skimmer. Theoretically leaving for 2 weeks on Sunday (unless destination travel restrictions occur). Currently waiting on MD to let me know if they have the replacement part in stock and how quick they can ship (doubt they could overnight it, at least not for cheap).
I was originally going to do a water change today, but now I guess I'll wait until Friday or Saturday for the water change, and in the mean time I am going to fill the emergency aquaclear 50 with some polyfilter just to have some non-biological filtration going on.
I was originally planning on having my tank sitter feed my tank every other day while I was away anyway, so I imagine there isn't a need to change that aspect of the plan and I will just have to deal with not having the skimmer while I'm away. Any other thoughts on what I should do over the next couple days?
