[chem-e]

I'm on the road pretty often as well and I haven't had too many problems. I think my success is keeping the system simple and putting everything on timers or making things automated. Of course the lights are on timers, but my topoff is also automatic. I just need to make sure I fill up my top off reservoir with kalk water and I empty my skimmer cup before a trip.

I also have a small bioload, so I think this also helps me out a little. My tank is mainly corals with three fishies.

I would think that having a smaller tank would be even tougher because of the smaller system volume.
