Your plant can survive without light for about 2-3 days. However it will grow tall during this darkness period and back to normal after lighting resume.

What you need to be worried of is the filter actually. After couple of hours, bacteria in filter will die off and foul your water. Basically you need to remove it and drain all the water. Let it stays moist.

Took me more than a week to try and remove the smell. grumble.gif

don't worry they won't die one. I've left my RCS shrimp tank for longer periods and never saw any deterioration.

Last time left my tank for 2 months, started leaking after 1 month away, had to switch off filter cause the water was lower then the inlet. And my housemate that switched off the filter switch off the lights also because its in the same extension. So 1 month no filter and no lights, come back still got half the population of shrimps left cool2.gif

No need to worry about tank cycle if you are using back the same filter...

Put some Varselin (cheap small bottle one with no special fragrance) on the propeller magnet and surroundings... Works for me...

I like it... drool.gif But try trimming the stem plants at the same time so both left and right bush will be of similar height. thumbup.gif
