Leaving hobby???

It is hard to take vacations with a reef tank at home.

A few weeks ago my house-sitter e-mailed me, there were lots of bubbles in the tank and the return pump was making a noise.

I was able to trouble-shoot it over the e-mail and the auto-topoff had failed, the house-sitter added some water and everything was fine. But a little problem like that could wipe out the whole tank.
