Curious as to what everyone's maintenance schedule is. I would estimate that I spend about 10-15 minutes a day scraping the glass and checking my dosing liquids... but that's about all I do. 

 

It could be that I'm just really lazy - but I think the level of maintenance is marginal from when I owned nano tanks. 

My routine is very easy. I add one of the small cups that came with the B-Ionic mag,caland alk  every Wednesday morning then do 4G water change every Sunday.

The water change is about 10min;s or so . No glass scrapping ,I have fish and snails that take care of that for me.

my contest tank is a ultra low maintenance I haven't touched it since its been wet (3/7/2020)

as for my 160G(mixed reef) everything is automated, with the exception of WC which I do a 25% monthly WC.

empty the protein skimmer twice a week and I change out the filter sock every other day.

I dose aminos twice a week usually the day after maintaining the protein skimmer which I turn off for 24hrs so the nutrients don't get automatically pulled out.IMG_2689.thumb.JPG.85abaaef424fd4aca581c067526a15f6.JPG
