Vacation Help

[DYIguy]

I'm looking at getting back into cruising- Looking into feeders and ATO's and getting someone to stop by and check the tank every other day or so- still need to find a cruise partner or 2- These are out NYC-Looking at a 4 day to St John NB- 08/19 $400pp, 5 day Bermuda 10/23 $500pp or 7 day New England and Canada ( 5 ports)) 9/30 $500pp. If these don't work out there are others to the Bahamas and the Caribbean this winter

Check out MSC they have a new ship leaving out of NJ and NY .
Msc is trying to compete in USA so their prices are very competitive.

As far as an auto feeder my go to is the eheim. I use them on all my tanks

MSC is one I'd consider- not looking for 10+ days right now- have to find a roommate first lol

Just get a simple eheim auto feeder, and a big ATO container.

My kamoer ato has been trouble free since day one.

I use a cheap Amazon auto feeder . Only because I lost my eheim. I have the neptune level sensor in my ATO container, and a camera on the container. I then have a spare pump inside a 5g bucket plugged into my apex, so if I see that thr water is below 8inches, I can turn pump on and pump water into ATO. You can also use any wifi smart switches to do this. I vacation a lot so this has helped tremendously. Text me if you have any questions.

ALSO there are these cheap WYZE cameras that are pretty good for minoring things. I left an obvious light on in the fish room. Not bright but obvious. As long as that was on I had the main power strip working. I angled one cames at the sump and another at the main display itself. worked well.

I have a Yi Home camera. Looks like a little robot and can move it left, right, up and down. The right position I can monitor tank and sump. It also has sound and motion detection plus I speak to whomever is there checking on my tank.
I just hope when I go on my cruise the Wi-Fi will work well enough to monitor.
