Do you have a maintenance schedule? If so, please post it! I am sure we can all learn from each others schedules to help improve our own, and give ideas to new hobbyists.
To help get you started if you have it somewhere else and cannot post it easily; What tasks do you daily? And weekly? Bi-weekly? Monthly or every 6-8 weeks? And yearly?
How do you keep track? Do you have a white board you use to check things off? Or maybe a physical calendar next to your tank? Or maybe you keep it all on your computer or smart phone? Heck, maybe you even pay someone to come and go and do everything for you! Please share!
 
On my 400 gallon reef I do:

1%-2% daily water changes, and top off with 5 gallons of RO/DI

Daily replacement of 25 micron filter socks

Dose 100 ml of vinegar

Dose 12 teaspoons of Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium

Weekly I blow off the rock with a small powerhead

Weekly clean glass with a magic eraser original and mag-float

Bi-weekly I scrape the coralline from the glass at the sandbead

Monthly I vacuum out the sump.
