I have a "Controller" with web access (GHL ProfiLux) but I also like to have a "Human" come by at least every other day to get an eyeball on the environment (leaks, lights blown etc).

I prepare my food in ice cubes and put them into baggies in the freezer so that whoever is looking in on the tank only has to open a baggy, grab an ice cube and drop it into the tank. Gotta keep it simple.

I also talk with my LFS and make sure they know I'm out of town so that if someone they don't know calls in a panic they are familiar with my system and how I do things.

I went to Hawaii for a month in September.

Set up a 70 gallon tank for ATO and a drain bucket for the skimmer.

And 2 auto feeders for fish.

Everything survived

I have a great Canreef Member that helps me, and vice versa I help him. Great way to do things, as I wouldn't want to leave my tank in the hands of someone who doesn't have a clue what to do.
