What happens in an unfed tank?

[GaryE36 34]

Out of curiosity - if we go away for say 2 weeks or so and our fish are unfed (not a problem for them, btw) what happens with the nitrogen cycle? Does the water degrade very slowly from the continuing metabolisms of the fish, or is the lack of fish wastes noticeable for those who test?

Curious . A guy would have to get his handy dandy API chemistry set out and run a little experiment .

Don’t test my water but I have never had a problem. I’m currently away for just over 2 weeks. My tanks are well planted though.
