I've added an IP cam to my setup, too. Between that and my Apex (and a whack of probes, switches, and email alarms) I can get a very good idea of what is going on with the system while I'm away. I came home to no surprises (though that doesn't mean everything went perfectly . . . I could see a patch of cyano start and get quite large on the cam) after our recent vacation.

I'm very sorry for your losses, Darrin. It sounds as if the person you entrusted just didn't give a s**t, or was too worried about any extra work that would be requested of him to actually tell you the truth.

I had my bestie stop by twice while we were gone to feed the tank mysis. She gave me the low down on everything: what ate, what didn't, what colours things were, if anything was closed up, what water levels were like . . . . She even spent 15 minutes working to identify a "funny smell" (turned out to be a bad potato under the sofa . . . which is more than a little odd).
