The feeding tablet will fowl the water, and possibly kill your fish.

 

[Red Tailed Wonder]

[dorkfish]

Fine, you think you know better, than do it.

If it was me, I'd skip the feeding tablet (but then you now it all! ); wo't do the fishies ay harm to fast for two weeks..

I'd leave the lights on a timer 10-12 hours a day...

Youre risking your water quality with the feeding tablet, they have been known to do that. If there is noone who can go check on your fish, maybe do a partial water change at some point, my advice would be to do a biggish water change just before you leave, feed as you are walking out the door and keep your fingers crossed. If you leave the lights off, your plants may die, messing up your water even worse. When you return, remove anything that may have died, do another biggish water change and feed the fish.

ok thanks all!

the feeding tablets are mostly plaster, like you would use to plaster a wall.
