Summer vacation trips and shrimp care

if its a sealed container it needs a tube to let air in and water out when it drops below the water line, just showing that you can do it with other things besides a 2L bottle.

I returned today after 8 days vacation in Northern Italy...and the the damages were as follows
1.I attached an automatic water replenisher and filled 2 buckets with RO 10 litres each for 2 shrimp aquariums found them empty.
2.Attached 2 extra fans before I left I presume were working most of the time, coz when I arrrived home the aquarium temperature was 27.8 degrees.
3. Losses (deaths): 3 male CRS grade A-S, one snow white (heavily pregnant when I left), 2 female SSS grade one of them was heavily pregnant, 2 male CRS grade SSS. I have small bridgesi apple snails in the aquarium they act as cleaners so may be when the shrimps died the snails ate them.
4. Births and new prenancies : Saw 2-3 young babies seem to be a week old A-SS grades (may be there are more not sure).
Saw a CRS grade SSS and two CBS (grade A and S)females berried.

Rest of the shrimps (Rili, Fire and Sakura) seem to be fine but may be there were deaths there too but not sure coz its very difficult to count them.

Returned home made a 10% water change fed the babies, berried and rest of the shrimps.
The AC is running for 4hrs got the temp.down to around 25 degrees.
Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
