Brad just head out and dont worry about it, I leave my fish for 3days at a time never a problem. Its good to clean out there system once in awhile. To over feed is a bad thing.

so would you classify overfeeding and powerfeeding to be the same or different? :D:Shhh:

I dont know what your definition of overfeeding is or powerfeeding. In my option and a good rule of thumb is dont feed more then your fish with consume.The more waste that hits the bottom just causes trouble in the long run. I try to have a good cleaning crew to eat the waste. Feed your fish every 1/2 hour if they will eat and let me know if they explode(overfeeding) Maybe try adding a full can of flake food every hour(powerfeeding).If you try let know how you make out.
