Daily*topoff with kalk {slow drip of course}, blow off detritus with turkey baster, check temp several times a day especially since I have a Won Brothers Titanium heater...lol

Empty/clean skimmer cup twice a week

Weekly*10% water change, replace/wash filter sock, check necessary parameters cal/alk particularly, use mag float to remove algae, clean any salt buildup on the glass shield of my Lumenarc reflector

Every couple of months or when I feel like it...lol take ph's and return pump and skimmer pump and run them in warm water and vinegar to remove calcium deposits.

Replace MH annually and PC's every 14-16 months.
