One night there was a power outage for a few hours so I missed some doses. The next I was able to remotely add the missed doses. I fed ELOS pellets twice daily via an Eheim autofeeder. I only had a neighbor visit 3 times to change out my 5 gal RODI reservoir. If I had a 20 gal reservoir and an IP camera then I would feel comfortable leaving for 15 days with no check ins.

pretty smooth. I'm hearing a lot of good things about that reef angel

I also was tracking the number of minutes that my ATO pump (aqualifter) was running. On a 5 gallon RODI reservoir I knew that 80 minutes of aqualifter run time meant that I had about 1.5 gallons left in my reservoir... So I would txt my neighbor that it needed to be refilled... Once he completed that I could then reset my minute tracker and start the process over again..

I love the reef angel.. This was custom code that the community put together for me..

It's not the tank I am worried about (well it is in the long run). But every year we take a 7 day vacation and the tank does great. But each year our air conditioner goes out. Luckily this year the drain line plugged. So no money spent there besides repainting.
