maybe list what chores your wife is actually doing while you're away? I know I'm curious. Maybe some of us can help you spend some money to cut down on those chores with some automation or elimination of said chore ? When I go on holiday my tank sitter typically only comes in every other day just to make sure there is still water in the tank. Even then I have my controller email me if the water gets too low

Everyone that's posted in this thread is obviously an addict. Asmodeus wants to downgrade and everyone here is trying to talk him out of it!!!!

As for Mike's crazy talk, don't do it man!!! You'll just have to spend a bunch more to get back in later!!!

Well TaMMY TELLS ME THAT IM RIGHT OUT OF IT. Here I thought that she had to do all this stuff and she is telling me that Mike I do alot of stuff ,but the tank is pretty much is auto. may be im getting sick of the rock work and the way it looks

may be its time to seriously look at a doser system and a controller. tammy was talking about the timers going on and off. and the temp going for a crap....

may be its just time for a change.
