I've lurked around for several years off and on around the various reef tank forums. For a long time I've wanted to start a reef tank however my job tends to have me travel at sporatic intervals. I understand that once the tank is up and running healthy that it can tend to take care of itself, but I have concerns with this being a honest reality. Water changes etc. would be able to be done when I am home, but if I end up gone for several weeks or a month max I can see an issue being created. I have a few friends I would trust to watch the tank and work on it while I am gone, but I'd like to limit this as much as possible.
I guess what I am getting at with all of this is if a reef tank is still for me. Do any of you tend to travel a lot and what would amount to a low maint. reef tank?
