Angel<3Nanos Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like to put on a reef-related shirt on with some shorts, bump some music, open the windows and grab a cold glass of water (or beer) when I do maintenance. What do you like to do? Link to comment

Kellysnano Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like to let my OCD run wild when I do tank maintenance - cleaning tools (dental tools/razor blades/sponges/basters/brushes etc.etc.) all lined up a certain way - stack of clean towels - 2 sets of gloves - notebook with special pen - silence in the room.....

kimberbee Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like to get it over and done with. My corals get pissy, my fish hide, and things get a little cloudy. I like the day after better, when everything looks clean and happy! Link to comment

GHill762 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like to clog the toilet when I do maintenance. I try to flush things down the toilet that won't go down when I do tank maintenance.. I've (seriously) had to snake the turlet twice after tank maintenance once was a big wad of filter floss, the other was a big wad of macroalgae.. I forget they're in the water change bucket when I dump it.. on the plus side, I'm getting pretty good at running a drain snake Link to comment
D Z Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 i usually put on some music, either symphony or heavy metal, That is quite the diversity of music choice. I like your style. Receive oral sex This I have never tried, during tank maintenance that is. I might just have to add it to my list of things to try....lol. I like to clog the toilet when I do maintenance.

As for me, I like to just focus on my tank. With how busy my life is lately, tank maintenance time is usually my one time to really inspect and enjoy my tank. Other than that, I rarely can find time to really look close at everything, at least not as close as I would like. Link to comment

cju84 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Accidentally spill saltwater on my hardwood floors every time I do maintenance. My answer as well - and then say a lot of god d*mnits. Even putting down towels all over the place... doesn't seem to matter. Link to comment

I'm actually kind of looking forward to tank cleaning time later today because of how busy I have been. Have a media basket to add, and some xenia to try gluing down. I dunno why I never thought to put on some music... Link to comment
HVani Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I get something to drink, get out my fish towels and put on Netflix. Usually I'm watching some sort of crime drama. Makes me happy Link to comment

HVani Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Do you watch Criminal Minds? Good crime show - would recommend if not! Last few water changes have been watching Criminal minds. It's my second time watching through the whole series. I love it! Link to comment
nanolutionary Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This I have never tried, during tank maintenance that is. I might just have to add it to my list of things to try....lol. You really must try it! That must be difficult for you Well my setup is great because I designed it for easy access - it just seemed more important to enjoy maintenance than have a sump! http://s41.photobucket.com/user/tlagden/media/EAA76116-78D0-4E62-9DAE-23333BE1DD71.jpg.html'> Joke- I only realised how great my setup was for this inadvertently. Well then.... I'll say! Link to comment
