Left the tank on auto for 10 days, nutrients drastically dropped ,land untraceable, corals turned bit pale, but over all sps looked great. All parameters stable.

Nitrate drop - could be due to controlled feeding of fish

 

One blue polyp yellow acro couldn’t make it - lucky have a frag of it

Sorry for the loss of that acro colony, good to know the rest are ok. 10days is quite a long time though, & we reefers know that so much can go wrong in a blink of an eye: electrical outage, equipment failing, etc

can share what you did to fail-safe your tank for these 10days? Did you get a tank-sitter?

yes bro it’s bit Long.

I had my neighbours maid to come and have look alternate day to see all running. Maid comes at the time when all pumps lights are running at peak to check and Take pics and Video and sends us. In case of any serious issues I will need to call LFC, this August when I was away for a week skimmer broke, dosing pump dosed loads of calcium, lost some sps due to RTN, luckily aquamarine came in and changed it immediately.

 

power outrage is one thing that I was really concerned off. I am focusing on solution, planing to add inverter backup and cam during my next trip for 2 weeks, additionally it’s gonna have double skimmer with double return pumps with float switches.

Dosing pump is one area that I need to work, considering to add calcium reactor along with dosing pump in 3:2 ratio. it’s gonna be tough challenge.

 

I designed my system bit simple, - sump, biomedia, skimmer, cheato
