low alkalinity

[makana]

I considered that as well. Being such a small tank evaporation could be deadly over a weekend. So my plan is to monitor tank temp in the early days of summer. If it looks like it will be a problem then I will be leaving the ac on to match my current tank temp.

My goal is to be able to go camping without having to find someone to come over and take care of my tank. If I have to I will rig up some sort of auto top off.
