Spring cleaning for a reef?

I typically do my "spring" cleaning in the fall... because I don't do a whole lot to my system during the nice months. But I have recently cleaned all of my pumps (about twice per year) so I guess that counts.

Guess I should probably do a sand vacuum...
 
Using an ancient diatom filter I stir up the entire substrate down to my Undergravel filter where I can reach, blow out the pores in rock (where I can reach) and suck out everything with that filter.

 
I cleaned my glass last night does that count? Ha! Really though I need to do some equipment cleaning bad!
 
I plan on pulling my entire skimmer from the sump for a deep cleaning with the hose on the next warm sunny day…. Not today tho
