Now that I'm completely hooked on this hobby, I find myself nervous about taking a vacation. Does anyone keep an eye on their tank while they're away? What is the best way? Thinking a nanny cam or one if my home security cameras. My father in law will be taking care of feeding but I'm afraid he won't know if something else is off.
 
Yep, Lots of folks do the same. The "Foscam" is popular one that can also be integrated into Apex Fusion if you have one or ever get one.
 
Really glad to know I'm not the only one with issues. Can't believe I'm worried about leaving the tank for 5 days.
 
Another option Ive read about people using is taking an old phone or tablet and downloading a webcam App to it. You'd just need to make sure the device is plugged into a charger and any sleep features set to never lock the device.
