Looks like I am going to be on a ship in the Philippine sea for about a month in the spring, taking data for my graduate work. My girlfriend is generally pretty good about keeping the water topped up and dropping food in the tank, but I would love to have someone local that she could call if things went wrong, since I will be out of reach. I also am going to week long conferences more and more often, and sometimes it is tough to explain things over the phone...
Even better would be if there were someone who could stop by every week or two and just make sure things looked right.
Right now I have a 150 mixed reef and a 75 frag tank, but they are pretty lightly stocked and low-tech, so not too much goes wrong. (Knock on wood!) "Payment" could be in frags, homebrew beer, or reciprocated tank-sitting.
Also, if anyone wants to get together and geek out about reefs in person, I am up for that too. There is nothing quite like seeing how other people set up and run their system in person.
I am in the State College area, just across College from Lemont.
