Any recommendations for a tank when on vacation?
I dont have a controller other than lighting.
My main concern will be cal and alk levels. Tank will be running by itself for about 4 days. :(

I leave mine all the time for long weekends. The temperature is always my biggest concern. Make sure you have a window cracked or the AC on if it gets warm in your house, I have come home to an uncomfortably hot tank more than once. As for levels, I fill a reservoir with kalk and fresh water and put it on a slow drip before I leave.

Cool deal. Yeah I'm going to set the AC to run the whole time I'm gone.
