scrubber fan!
What I thought was going to be two days and one night out of town next week has turned out to be 6 days and 5 nights!
I'm kinda nervous about this. Since I set up the tank I've only been gone a day or so, and I'm afraid I'm going to be worrying the whole time
I've never had any big mishaps in the past, but you know how that goes.
My teenage son knows quite a bit about how the tank works, and he really only has to top off every couple days, and feed the fish a few times, which he already knows how to do.
I'm just worried about some unforseen, overlooked detail I might miss. Maybe I won't worry so much if I feel like I have everything covered...
Gonna clean all the pumps and powerheads.
Make sure the little air siphon in the overflow box is thoroughly clean and free of any slime or debris.
All lights are timed, and only a month or so old.
Clean scrubber/screen up the morning before leaving, and it won't need cleaned til I get back.
(He knows to use only R/O water for topoffs, and I'll have food portioned out for him. He's done the routine before, only not for 6 days!)
What else can I do? I don't use filter socks or anything to block flow, so I don't see any kind of blockage happening. Everything seems to be in shape...water quality is good, and been stable for quite some time now. No new changes of any kind....
