Thanks Mort and Richard. I have a friend, actually a guy my son grew up with, who has a reef tank. He comes by daily to check on and take care of things. I have taught him how to handle my tanks and what to do in case of power failure, overflowing tank, etc. He will feed my sun coral, top off the water in the tanks, feed the fish, clean the algae off the glass. Test the water to nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, ph, calcium, alkalinity, etc. He will know what to do in case anything is out of whack. My lights are on timers. He also waters our flowers, lawn, dogs, etc. I pay him well and he really enjoys all my tanks. It is true peace of mind to know he can handle things. He has my cell # for emergencies. His cousin helped out the first summer I had tanks. I got a panicked call from him. The siphon was broken on the overflow. Here I was sitting on a picnic table by the pool in Florida telling Evan how to start the siphon again. I am sure those around me were wondering what the heck I was talking about!!
