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.![Red heart :heart: ❤️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/2764.png)
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...
