fully automating a tank

[freezetyle]

So im going to leaving to go back to school come september and will be leaving my fish-tank in the hands of my girlfriend. For me this is a terrifying experience because if reef keeping isnt really your hobby it can seem pretty labour intensive.

I had a few questions about lightening the load of work she will have to be responsible for. I was looking for some suggestions on things that could be set up to make this run smoothly.

I have already thought about the ATO and all of my lights are on timers, i have a vortech mp20 powerhead as well as a koralia or two. and as far as dosing i purchased a simple two part solution for her to add every couple of days.

i was just wondering if an aqua controller would be worth is to set up my heater and such to to help with any sort of heat issue that could arise.

im really short on ideas so any input would be great!
