Any Known Adverse Effects From Dosing Phyto Nightly to Stop Dosing For A Few Days Then Restarting Dosing?

[Steve2020]

We will be going on a short 4 day vacation soon and will have a house sitter that will be taking care of the house including feeding the fish. I have been dosing my own cultured two blend of Phyto nightly for the past 29wks @ 14oz/dose. My tank is automated so when I dose phyto my return pump and skimmer shut down for an hour by use of two Apps. Unfortunately I would find it kind of dangerous to put the Apps on her phone due to possibly hitting the wrong Icon which are many on my system. I could have her just manually shut them down but then there is the possibility of forgetting to turn them back on. Is there any known adverse effect of not dosing Phyto for a few days when Phyto has been dosed nightly for the past 29wks?

Can’t answer your question.

Is there an option for the caretaker to dose the phyto without shutting off the equipment? it would be a partial feed rather than no feed.

You will be fine, just start slow when you get back. Dont over feed it upon return.
Also just cut back a little before you leave. If we are talk phyto strictly.
