Definitely stop feeding until ammonia and nitrite is zero.

Salt.

Switch to pump constantly if on timer.

They should be able to go a week without food.

Better to have the puppy dog look than the puffed out eyes dead look. Esp with the high ph, an increase in water temp would make ammonia more toxic.
