Getting ready to leave for 2 week vaca and my gut is telling me to have a camera set up so I can watch my tank like a hawk! Neighbor is feeding but clueless on what to look for if any of my reef family has a problem arise while I'm away.

I dont have a ring etc currently at home so looking for camera that shows my tank with decently clear feed I can view from my phone :)

I also use a Wyze cam. It works good for day to day and is excellent when on vacation for me. I set it up right in front of tank with a Orphek lens and I can see everything.

This is a pic I took from the cam when I was on vacation last week.

What exactly would you do if a frag fell or even if the tank spontaneously burst? You're SOL anyway.
Contact neighbor if there is something slightly off they could fix. If my tank burst while I was on vacation I might just head home depending on where I was.

On my trip I didn’t have anyone go feed or anything and if a frag fell I would just hope it would still be alive when I got home. Corals are replaceable but getting home to clean up 20G of water would probably save a ton of money instead of leaving it sit for a week

What fun is that!!!! He’ll just be worried all the time about the tank!!! On my week vacation I looked maybe once a day if that when I was gone gave me peace of mind
Yup! Once or twice a day check in-between beers will do me just fine lol
