How long can a tank be off for?

[nymotts]

I am sitting here for the last couple of nights waiting for my clowns to hatch and to do so i i have to shut everything off returns , circulation pumps skimmer lights like i said everything off waiting for these clowns to come and was wondering how long is a safe period of time before oxygen and everthing else runs out?

put several airstones in the water to create oxygen and maybe some macro algae (keep the lights on) to exchange co2 for o2.

good luck raising the clowns

Thanks pretty simple

Is this their first clutch? In the future it may indeed be easier to place a tile where they laid last to see if they'd lay on the back side of it - easy pickings when its hatching time to remove the tial instead of trying to catch itty bitty babies

Congrats!!! If you do end up having a bunch survive and are looking for good homes, Let me just say it now I'd be interested in a pair !!!!
