Currently I have filter socks and have filter wool where my carbon should be, if not changed it can make the water back up, yes I know your going to tell me to stop being lazy but I just fancy one of these that automatically advances when the flow drops, it's not that I need one it's just that I need to feed my spending addiction [emoji23]

I've been looking at the Canary, but I may just go with something else. I understand you have to pay more to get the required storage for the Canary? I'm reading something about paying 15 quid a month?Ive got a 'Canary HD' camera pointing at tank - works a treat and its plug and play and comes through to my iPhone etc.
Its not the cheapest but....
I have a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in the house which comes with Software/Licences to run some IP cameras, and as it has 9TB of Storage it would be ideal. I may go down that route, but the Canary does look nice.
You only need to pay if you want more than 24 hours storage, which I don't for what I use it for. It's designed as a security system rather than to watch fish tanks lol!I've been looking at the Canary, but I may just go with something else.

I'm an IT man as well I have a QNAP 12TB NAS running raid 5, so I have 9TB usuable. I also have a Surveillance Station although I've not set-up any CCTV yet, although it is something I plan to do at some point for the outside of the house. I also have a Gigaswitch box, so I'm all ready to go, just need some cameras!Sounds like the Synology with Surveillance Station. I have that same setup (although with 30tb storage) for my security CCTV. Started with the two included licences then bought more after testing. I use the Hikvision HD PoE cameras at the moment although with the advances of wifi in recents years I may be cutting my cords soon. Just not the ones to my NAS! Got to have the 4 x 1Gb cables plugged in and teamed, to my switch then to my Ubiquiti wifi router for streaming by multiple people in the house at once.
Anyway, get some cameras and try the Synology... I don't think you're be disappointed. Oh, for watching externally to your network, you'll need to setup NAT forwarding in your router and know you public IP address.
(yes, IT is my expertise - happy to help anyone that needs it as I'm new to reefing so here to leverage your reef expertise)
Thanks Pat.... I do too I prefer the movement you get with a softie
