We used Dr. Tims (same theory as Biospira) and have been very happy with it. When we were breaking down and setting up new tanks or setting up tanks after our crash, we used it. Our tanks were cycled within a day and we have had no issues since. We were very happy with it and will use it in the...
Vacations are the scourge of the reef keeper. I have had my parents look after the tank once, and local reefers twice (Thanks Greg and Greg). I know one reefer on here set up a webcam so he could watch his tank while he was away.
