Yeah I know...I already have anxiety and I haven't even left yet.

I will have plenty of top-off water for 10 days, and there is a backup float switch in case the first fails...

I bought an automatic fish feeder from Wal-Mart that will feed flakes every 12 hours...

The Aquacontroller will keep the temp in check, and shut off the metal halides if neccessary...

I'm going to have friends check the tank every other day, and feed frozen food....

...but still, I know I'm going to worry about it pretty much nonstop until I get back. My only real complaint about the reef hobby is the fact that it takes away your ability to completely enjoy going out of town.
