Stop all carbon dosing and with air pump plus weekly water change, short term without skimmer you should not be too concern. Thought you getting the skim beckett skimmer?

You can try rio hyperflow pump for the Beckett skimmer. As much as eheim may be sufficient, that's because for James's skimmer it's on a mazzei injector. Only one constriction and one air hole in the entire injector design. But that's not the case for Beckett. You need a rly strong pump for it.

No joke. Been there seen that done that. Can try googling for the design of Beckett injector and mazzei injector and you'll get my point.

Anyway agree with carbon dose points the guys raised. Your nitrates increased not solely because of vinegar but lack of oxygen due to you running biopellets initially.

In any case, don't fret. Don't scream. Like I've shared, go get Purigen and dump it in. If you want to balance the ph, dose Kalkwasser without vinegar to balance the ph or act as ph buffer. But first... Check your ph.

Hope this helps

Hi bro, hope all your livestock is still ok. Yes, you can do water change even when light is off and in fact it is good as the water change during backout will help replenish oxygen to the tank.

it is good to have some form of backup some time. i think you can check out with bryan and he can show you some cheap and affordable DIY UPS system using car battery.

The fish should return to normal once the power is restored .

vinegar is definitely safe, much safer then biopellets. been dosing 8 months vinegar, sometimes my skimmer overflows and skimmates all go back to tank, my tank handles it well.
