Nice build! I had similar situation when I was stuck in India for 8 months (supposed to be 3 weeks ) due to covid travel restrictions. Had to take down my previous setup at 1 year mark when it was nice and mature with SPS growing nicely. Tank was on auto pilot for 4 months without issues. Then LFS care which was not good enough anyway. Now starting from zero again. Luckily a local reefer housed my corals but could not house the fishes. So got back most of my corals.
