Well...the family COVID situation has changed, and I am going to be away from the aquarium for 10 days. Normally I manually dose daily 10ml of Fusion2 to keep my ALK in the 9.9-9.6 range. THe ATO will keep the tank water full. The feeders will keep the fish happy.
What should I do about the ALK?
Should I make sure the ALK is at 10 or 9.9 and know that it will slowly drop - my guess is that in 10 days it will be down at 9.0?
Other ideas?

Might add to ato water. Dropping 1 dkh over 10 days might be safest though.
 
Should be fine. As long as it doesn't go too far below 7 I don't think it's an issue.
