daniella3dThat's what I do when I go to vacations, then I use my cell phone to watch the web cam over the net and get my email in case a warning was sent. Only way to go to vacations and peace of mind.

And to top it, I put my pumps and skimmer on a Noma power backup. that starts as soon as the power goes off and return to the electricity when the power is back.

The web cam is nice to check if the skimmer is working normaly, if the water level is ok (auto top off working) and if the pump and light are working ok, as well as if the fish are alive and well and the water clear. It's all very easy to see on the web cam image.
I am afraid I don't really use a cell ph for the most part{I know, catch up} I dont text or tweet either, but one day perhaps. If I had been out of town I don't know if it would have made any difference as I guess I would have to have a tank sitter to call I guess. I like my computer but I use my wifes cell ph when I go out...she usually makes me take it. . Don't get me wrong, I luv technology, I just hate it when people can track me down when I want to get away.
