I am about to go away for a week and wanted some advice about how best to ensure my tank doesn't suffer too much. I have a 30g heavily planted tank and am using EI, dosing my tank accordingly each day (5ppm KNO3 & 1ppm K2SO4 on alternate days plus trace 2ml alternate days). I have high lighting (4w/G for 10hrs) and co2 at 30ppm. My question is...do I just go the week without dosing and leave the tank as it is or should I reduce the lighting time/co2 for the week I am away. At the moment I am winning the battle against a hair algae outbreak due to increased dosing of macro nutrients. Obviously the last thing I want is to not dose nutrients for the week and come back to an algae nightmare! What do you all do when you take your hols??? Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
