There is a possibility that I will travel oversea this summer and probably going to be away for two weeks. No one will be at home taking care of my tank.
The thing that I concerned the most is the tank water top off. I made an auto top off with a soda bottle (1.6 liter) and being the bottle is so small, I have to refill the bottle with RO/DI water almost every 24 hours. I think it is easier just mannually pour the water in. So my current DIY auto top off system is definitely not going to work when no one is at home for two weeks.
I have put some thoughts to this and I think I have a few options.
1. get a glass top to eliminate for minimize water vaporation (but the water temp will spike during summer with a tank glass top)
2. Leave the lights on for only 2 hours a day?
3. Get a real auto top off system from marinedepot or any online vendors.
I appreicate any suggestions and inputs.
