I have to send my skimmer pump out for repair and it's not to take 1-2 weeks. Will the fish be fine without one for that long? I have a low bioload but do feed heavy. I'll probably have to cut back on feeding and also stop carbon dosing. Thoughts?
 
Hi there
Just do a few extra water changes that will help in the sudden change of your bio Load and it should be fine
 
Yea, you can run a system without a skimmer just for fish. Just watch your water parameters, and make the necessary water changes to keep those numbers in line.
