What have you been Postponing on your reef maintenance

[H3rm1tCr@b]

Water change... just don't want to screw up the nitrates again though; keeping dinos at bay.

All of it ....

Been postponing a water change for 2.5 years!

Some of you are making me feel a lot better about my less than aggressive maintenance regime. Thanks!

I was just about to say the same.

Good therapy session folks; I feel great again.

Now let's get back to procrastinating...

Honey? Where is the remote? Games are about to start.

Why not get a sps nipping fish? Balance the system. And less work for you

Touche!

My Potters does a good job of controlling/decimating any expensive zoas that I impulse buy but won't touch the stonies.

Would you recommend a parrot fish perhaps?

I need to redo the entire sump area. Maybe even plumbing. It’s a mess of gear and wires and tubing

 

[Bob Weigant]

I’ve been much better on the maintenance but draining the sumps is a bit of a pain.

I need to vacuum the bottom of the sump and fuge. I think I got this compact battery powered vacuum for Christmas so I am waiting to do it. In a couple months the tank will be a year old and will have to clean the sump and skimmer. Not looking forward to it.

I always procrastinate cleaning the filter socks and dump the skimmer cup. I say I do it every five days or so but sometimes the "or so" is two weeks.

Sump cleaning...got the pump, the attachment, the hose and filter holder to set it up and get it all done...and yet, there it sits. Detritus, Precipitation, few dropped tie wrap ends, '66 Thunderbird hubcap...

I have been postponing my sand cleaning I know it’s about time to do it but it just sounds like such a pain in the back, I also haven’t clean my return pump since forever.

Living in sunny Callyfornia, our tanks outside, so need to add one more chiller as emergency. Still working on that.
