So I just got a new job working for the railroad. I am gone often during the week for 12 hours at a time. Sometimes over night. There in lies the problem. I have a tore down 120g 4x2x2 with dry rock now and a r-300 refugium. Only thing I would need to get running again is a good RO/DI system. I don't want to put the work and money into this though if I am just going to fail and it be too much work. So I am curious if you have any ideas. How I can make this easy to clean and maintain. Ideally I would like to add water occasionally and maybe doing water change once a month. I would assume I need an auto feeder.

FYI! I don't need a huge bio load. I am entertained by clean up crews and cleaner shrimp ha. I do want one tang, maybe a trio of anthias, pair of clowns. and maybe a blenny. I had a gold midas blenny, copperband and trio of anthias before i tore it down.

Thoughts?
 
I would suggest a AIO with a ATO but they are all to small for tangs.. I have a Biocube that runs just about hands off except for filling ATO, feeding fish, changing filter floss every few days and small water change once a month.
