New sump lights for this tank (and the nano tank). Sometimes solutions are so simple if you know them. Only concern was if they were to come off and fall into the water, but the way there are positioned, this should not happen.
Also, temperature went above 80F today, despite the airconditioning set to 77F. The tank is in the hallway with a roof window so it gets much warmer than the rest of the house. Need to consider this when I am gone. And I forgot I had these two fans (I believe previously recomended by @JVU).

15,000 ml highly diluted alkalinity solution (+traces), which should last approximately 25 days, and a 5 gallon skimmate container, and a 5,000 ml CA (+traces) container. Perfect fit, but no room for anything else now. Dosing setup is now vacation ready.
Maybe tune your skimmer so it's more dry?

Skimmer water level sensor installed and tested. Works great - skimmer stops immediately when sensor is wet and restarts again when sensor is dry.
Looks like the Hydros skimmate level sensor https://www.coralvue.com/hydros-skimmer-sensor

Webcam views for the main tank (edit: Eufy 2k/4k, no filter).
Edit: Added another side view camera (Panasonic HomeHawk, 1080p). This side will get algae quickly, but hopefully the camera blocks out a lot of outside light so I can still see inside the tank for a while.

What cameras are you using? Very clear images. Do you notice any issues under blue lighting or do you run more white spectrums?
On my tank during all blue periods i see nothing. I was considering taping a orange filter onto the camera.

Yes, my tank is very camera-friendly, I do not need filters really. They are all Eufy, 2k on the side and sump, 4k dual lense for the front.

Never measured this exactly, but wanted to do it now. Any thoughts about the amount of dry food that comes out daily - 4 feedings / 1:30 minutes per feeding? This amount seen is 6 minutes running the plank feeder.
Edit: Added list of fish (excluding the yellow tang
)
Edit 2: This is a mix of AVAST Reef Jerky, Seaweed Extreme, Large TDO, Medium TDO, Small TDO, and two types of Ocean Nutrition flakes.
Edit 3: Dry food will be fed in addition to a significant amount of frozen food every other day, and two sheets of seaweed every other day.
