Fish will be fine . I'd be more concerned about the salinity (evaporated water) How much water do you top off with ? Each day , Every other day ? If it's not a lot . Go have fun . They will be fine and "don't over feed " !!

Yeah, they'll be just fine, just don't overfeed to try to fatten them up before you leave. It will just be excess food thats not eaten and will just turn into nutrients. HTH

I feed every three days.Just give them extra food just before you go and turn back your skimmer so it doesn't over flow and do you have ATO?

never even thought about the skimmer, thanks. (that could have been bad)

as far as top off i think i can compinsate for that.

thanks for the quick responses.
