Absence-Proofing a Reef/Fish Tank???

[pilot87178d]

Need some help here....am finalizing the planning and setting up of a new reef (75 - 125g range) in an apt in the City. Am frequently out-of-town for prolonged periods....hence, the key question, above. Can certainly deal with putting the RO water on a float-switch so the salt level doesn't get too high and use timers for other stuff. BUT, how do I deal with other maint.-related stuff? Tangs need a least a clip full of veggies, or the corals start getting nipped! :banghead:

About $125 a visit will cover comm'l maint, but I am anxious to view other opinions before jumping into this option.

Has anyone uncovered the magic decoder-ring for this particular issue?

Thx!
Marc

how about a automatic feeder for your tangs?

Get a reefbuddy to check on your tank. Its the only safe way!!! Something as dumb as a snail can make a floatswitch stick!!
