    I setup a 17.5 gallon acrylic tank bridge that I built years ago connecting two 75 gallon tanks with a 20 gallon sump, it's a 4 tank system with an overflow box. Knowing that if the acrylic tank bridge sprung an air leak it would pump the sump water into the tank and overflow all over my floor so I bought a camera overlooking my living room on Ebay for about $25 that I can check on my phone periodically when I'm away, it pans and zooms. I'd highly suggest one of those, super helpful if going away being able to monitor tanks and property in general.

    With a pond worth that much, Redundancy and Alarms!
    Especially when you're leaving town, super important to have a backup.
    I've got a phone alert going off when something fails (heat/pump),
    a secondary heater that could in theory handle things solo if the second one fails,
    a second emergency filter I can turn on remotely if I have to,
    a second feeder I can remotely trigger if the first one somehow gets stuck,
    and a cheap home security camera to monitor things.
    Its an expense, but not as bad as restocking your pond.
