Hello all!
It’s been a while since I have posted on the site, so long in fact that my ID had been deactivated. I am happy to see that reefs.org is alive and well.
After a long break, I have decided to get back into the hobby and I am looking for some advice. I had kept tanks of various sizes for almost 6 years during college and after, but due to the fact that I travel for work, I decided to take down my setup for fear that I would neglect it. However, after thinking about it for a long time, I am ready to jump head first back into the mix.
So here is my question(s). My work situation has still not changed, as I am gone four days a week and I am constrained by space into a small 25 gallon tank (read: no sump possibilities). What I am looking for is suggestions for filtration for the tank with the hopes that it could be left alone safely for four days at a time. The tank would have LR, LS, etc. It would probably be similar to my old tank ---> http://www.derekdrennan.com/gallery/Old-Reef-Tank. The only difference is I would not be there during the week to make sure everything was okay as I was in school, hence the question about strong filtration. Is this a possibility? Or a pipedream? Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek
