Is this plan okay for my 2 week vacation?

So I will go to a vacation this Friday. I'm thinking of doing a water change today. And feed them Wed, Thurs, and the last day while I'm still at home. I bought a automatic feeder: fish mate f14. I'm thinking of feeding them every other day when I'm in vacation. My betta also likes to eat the sinking wafers I give to the corydoras so I feed them every other day. Is that fine? I'm also going to do a water change after we get home from vacation.

Tuesday June 13
Water change
Give food, both

Wednesday June 14
Give food, only wafers

Thursday June 15
Give food, both

Friday June 16
Give food, wafers.

Sunday June 18
Give food, both

Tuesday June 20
Give food, pellets

Friday June 24
Give food, both

Sunday June 27

Monday June 28

The automatic feeder gives food at 3pm. Also, the lights will be turned off the while time.
Stockings:fish
3 corydoras
1 loach (I read their fine being single)
1 baby betta
5 neon tetras.

Stocking: plants
2 java ferns
2 Anubias var nana
1 anubias
1 amazon sword
Few bacopa caroliniana

Thanks! Any advice please!

 

The only thing I would do different is do a water change the day before you leave on vacation.

Okay! Do you think my fishes will be fine after the water change? I just don't want any bad IFs after I do the water change. If there's those IFs, I can do something to stop that. I want to see if they're fine after the water changes. Should I be worried?

OK, you have officially stumped me. What are IFs?

 

I'm new to plants but I'm wondering if having no lights for 2 weeks might cause plant problems? I don't know.

Maybe because of the strong vibrations of the water change, they can become stressed. Maybe I didn't add enough declorinator? I don't know, these are the ifs. Water changes = stress, so something bad can happen and I'm kind of worried.

You are right. Should I buy something that controls the lights? Is there anything that relates to that?

I have mine plugged into a timer.

I really wouldn't worry about that stuff, you'll worry yourself sick. Just make sure you take care with the amount of dechlorinator. Your fish should be somewhat used to water changes if they are done regularly.

I understand what you mean now. If the fish get tossed around while you are refilling then refill slower. I have to be careful when refilling because my fish enjoy being in the flow of the fresh water being poured in the tank. Your fish should get used to water changes and will probably come to enjoy them.

If the tank isn't going to be in total darkness I'm not sure I would be overly concerned about leaving the lights off. The effect on plants might depend on how dependent your plants are on having a specific length and brightness light they need.

 

As for the aquarium timer, I was thinking of getting this: BN-LINK 24 Hour Plug-in Mechanical Timer Grounded Aquarium, Grow Light, Hydroponics, Pets, Home, Kitchen, Office, Appliances, UL Listed 125VAC, 60 Hz, 1875W, 15A, 1/2HP (1)

 

If I am leaving on Friday after work I change my water on Thursday night as late as I can. You will then be at ease because you will have a day for the If's.

Okay, I will do that. Thanks! Is 50% fine?

If that is what you normally do. Its just a week like normal.
