I used to have someone watch my tank for me if it was for an extended period of time. I would pay in cash, or frags, or both. I gave me some peace of mind.

I have a family member watch over mine when I'm out of town. Other then that you could find a trust worthy member of this board to look after your tank. One other option is to have a non reef friend care for the tank and provide them with emergency contact numbers for people who know about reef tanks that could help them out in the event of something major.

That's why this board is so valuable. Get out and meet fellow reefkeepers. I bet you'll find someone nearby who has the passion and experience to give you peace of mind.
I'm also looking at webcams and internet access solutions so I can "check in" from afar.

I've also been looking at webcams, and I eventually hope to have both underwater and non-underwater camera to watch my tank with.

That's a smart idea to get a camera! But imagine how painful it would be to watch you tank spilled all over the floor and all the fish dying and you watching helpless from a beatch. Can't help anyway + one big scewed up vacation.

I did leave my fish once at a fish store, before I joined Canreef, for them to watch while my tank cycled. Not cheap and I did lose some fish while they were there. Now I just get a neighbour to check in on the tank daily and feed the fish and corals. I have talked them through correcting a problem over the phone once which ended well. Let's just say I would trust a neighbour more than I would a fish store.
