I just got home from a 8 day trip and the first thing i did was go to my tank. The first thing I noticed was that my glass was extremely dirty it wasn't that big of a deal but I noticed one of my lights fried or something but its not working so i don't know what to do about that... my corals were all over the place in the tank. My big anemone moved around. One of my baffles in my sump broke. ‍♂️ I'm going to do a big water change tomorrow and try to figure something out about my lights because i don't have the money to buy another one.

When we take vacations, our tank always charges us for that. We just came for 10 days vacations and tank had some problems. First my alk dropped ( full sps) but one friend came to see my tank every other day and he checked the alkalinity and I could adjust calcium reactor's PH ( where is the Trident [emoji848]). Second one of my mp 40 moved and did a hole in my sand bed and covered a few montis with sands, moved 2 acans and lost 1 zoa frag. The last one was when I received an alarm from apex about water in my tank's furniture, my ghost overflow has a leak in one bulkhead (I knew about that before left) and it increased when we were on vacations.

Always happened something [emoji2955] on our vacations
