    If your friend is coming in I would get him/her to do the feeding. A feeder failure could dump too much food into the tank.
    I would also ensure your friend know all you can tell then about your set up.
    Keep your Cell phone on

    good luck, I'm going away on Friday and have a fellow Reefer dropping by who knows my set up well

    Make sure you have enough top off. That seems to be the most likely problem (especially considering the warmth). It would be easy for your salinity to be way up when you get back, and pumps sucking air... bad news.

    Just a thought.
