I'm just creating this thread to document the status of my tank during my 4 week vacation hoping it will help someone in future.
Tank: Red Sea Reefer 350 about 5+ months old, 2 kessil a160WEs (5.5 hours at 60% intensity 1330 to 1900), 250w heater, skimmer, jebao return pump and 1 maxspect gyre 4k
Live stock: blue tang, scopas tang, coral beauty, dwarf puffer, clownfish pair, bi color blenny and 2 wrasses, LPS and soft corals mainly
Monitoring and Automation:
- 2 tapo IP cameras,
- WiFi energy monitoring plug,
- WiFi controllable switch for skimmer (for emergencies)
- Another wifi switch for a small water pump which I can turn on remotely to fill up my ato (love these gravity fed auto top off units of RS tanks)
- AliExpress autofeeder feeding small amounts of pellets 2 times a day
- cameras are setup in a way so I can read temperature and the other led status lights
It's been 8 days and the tank has been running on a fully automated mode so far with no issues. All the fish are feeding well and behaving like they used to be.
Some pics as of now so you can get an idea.
I'll keep on updating this thread in the coming days/weeks.
Please share if you have anything to say as well...
