Going on vacation for 5 days and worried about my tank. It's just a little Biocube 32, though heavily modified. I have the dosers going, the ATO going.

pH- 8.1
ALK- 8.1
NO3- 5.8
PO4- .10
SG- 1.025

AI Blades x 3
AI return pump and Nero's
Refugium- Chaeto

Red Sea Doser-4
Skimmer
Co2 Scrubber
 
Good luck!
 
I assume you have an auto feeder too? Can someone check on it at least once?
I just bought one, I will give it a trial run tomorrow while I am home and then it is fingers crossed. Their diet will be cut in half during my vacation.. but only a pair of clowns, a yellow watchman, a pink cryptic wrasse and Tailspot. 5 fish.. tank is loaded with pods.

I will leave a camera in front and call the neighbors I guess in case of an emergency. I wish I had an inkbird for the heater, but the room is climate controlled at least. I have a smallish power backup I will plug the return pump only into... That should buy the tank a few hours at least if power goes out

That sounds like a great plan!

You’re more prepared than I am when I go on vacation!
 
Just discovered my AFR dosing line was vacuum locked. Explains why ALK was drifting down while I kept increasing the dose. I think water changes were the only thing that saved for my tank, for over a month.
