well i leave next weekend for my four day camping trip on the mohican river. canoeing, kayaking, and mountain climbing.
i have been very nervous about leaving the tank unattended from friday afternoon until until monday afternoon. my main concern was a sump or tank overflow.
i'm wondering, can i jsut turn off the sump, and let the tank run on jsut powerheads for those four days? the tank currently has 2 hagen 402's, one in each corner. it's only a fowlr, with 2 green chromis, 1 coral beauty, 1 blue damsel, 1 cinnamon clown. other inhabs are 20 small hermits, 1 lone surviving astrea, and 1 green brittle star. can these do OK on reduced flow for a few days?
i feed the tank every 3 days, so they'll be fed friday before i leave, and monday when i come home, so there will be no interuption of food cylce. only there will be reduced flow, and no skimmer.
i'll have the lights on timers, that i need to pick up this week, and get them working, so i know they are actually working.
so, will the tank be alright with the powerheads?
thanks
jay
