They'll be fine. Three days is nothing. Just feed them well (but don't overfeed) the day you leave.

Excel is a carbon supplement, not a fertilizer. The two provide entirely different things. And anyone can easily buy Metricide and make 1.5 gallons of an Excel equivalent for $23.

You should definitely make your title more specific. What do you intend to write about? The happenings of your tanks, as well as posts about different aspects of planted tanks?

I live in Florida and people here tend to just use battery operated air stones for short outages like 24 hours or so. On the other hand, I didn't have power for over a month in 2005, and I really...
