  1. Tank sitting options

    I'm going to be out of town for an 8 week stretch next year and I'm really worried about my reef . Anyone have suggestions about what to do to give me some piece of mind? My options so far are 1) a local fairly reputable tank maintenance company and 2) the wife's little brothers (18 and 21) who are responsible, but not experienced with reefs and live an hour away. Both options have their problems as you may imagine... Any other suggestions?
