What do your weekly tank goals look like?

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Unless we have goals we don't have anything to "shoot" for right!?

I saw this post from member @JoJosReef that listed out all the goals for the week and thought it was a great idea! Plus I thought it would be neat if you shared some of your weekly goals!

Also important to know that it seems as if setting goals is working out pretty well for @JoJosReef!

This thread deserves some love!

Saw this and giving a bump

Weekly goals are make sure no corals need to be rearranged due to growth

Look for ways to fit more coral

Top off water

Add all for reef

Empty scrubber

Test various parameters if anything looks off

Usually once a week, like this morning I go out to the beach hunting amphipods. I dump them in my tank and the fish are smiling. It's like a circus in their mouth.
They are not in season yet so it has been disappointing. But I get some small ones, not the thousands that I want yet.



Besides that, I have no other weekly goals.

Weekly goal is growth! I wanna see growth on the majority of my sticks and good pe!

I just do the maintenance and leave the tanks be. The goal is to just keep everything stable. But something always happens regardless of my best efforts. That’s what reefing is all about, imo. Controlling the chaos. Lol.

 

[Glenner’sreef]

Weekly: Keep the glass clean so that my wife and friends and family can see it at its best.
Protein Skimmer cup cleaned out. (That reminds me).
Observe certain corals that are growing faster than others.
Check my food supply.

I wouldn’t call them goals—rather scheduled tasks. I have a maintenance schedule that includes general cleanup, water change and certain periodic needs (e.g. pump/powerhead maintenance, refugium cleanup, etc). My general goal is to provide an environment conducive to the health of the tank.

Yep. This morning on my beach walk I saved this guy.

Very nice!!! The only thing I saved today was myself, coming from the ac in my car to the ac in our house. Lol Here is beautiful Az. it’s already 94 degrees at 9:25 am.

 

[JoJosReef]

Notable exception: work travel. Always throws off my weekly goals. Basically go into survival mode. Enough food, top off water and All For Reef to keep everything *hopefully* alive whole gone.

 

[Nano_Man]

Water changes
Check my plankton cultures are doing ok
Clean glass on tanks
Check salinity

Thats why not many people live in Arizona. I am going amphipod hunting now and it is 72 degrees at 5:35 am

 

[NkSde]

Right now in the introductory phases of coral life and the system going thru that shock.

My goal is to have the tank survive the week

Eradicate the aiptasia I saw stinging my acan (done thanks Joe’s juice)

And start working on plans for improving water clarity further

 

[fish farmer]

To remember that it is the end of the week. I work every third weekend now so sometimes I forget to check the ATO which generally needs filling by the weekend. The other weekend tasks like WC/fill doser/clean skimmer are usually every other weekend.

Ouch! FYI the population for 2024 is over 1000.

Goals equal planning and planning is work let alone the work required to implement the plan. I am allergic.

Many of you are preventative, organized and methodical....

Reefing the BeanAnimal way:

"Ohh the tank looks nice today, yay for me"

"Ohh that's bad (Homer Simpson brain animation) do I need to handle it now or should I eat more bacon and look again tomorrow to see if it fixed itself?"
