CT_ Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 You could keep feeding. There will be a bit of a delay but food decomposes without being eaten in a couple days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieB Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Dropping in a little clear unscented ammonia (available at Amazon) every couple days. This a popular way to do “fish less” cycling for reef tanks and you can Google the specific method and amounts. It helps simulate a bio load without contaminating the tank or sacrificing fish. Alternatively, feeding the bristle nose well then when the time comes just ramp up the bio load a little slow. It’ll work either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
