Every couple of weeks we do about 20-25% water change.
Everyday I check the PH monitor, top-off water (fill as neccesary).
Check the Kalk reactor, temp and skimmer (clean and empty when needed).
Replace carbon weekly.
Clean the sides of the glass every couple of days.
During the water change, I sipon off debris off the rocks.

Have to admit, I never thought about trying to clean the overflow. I'll have to see if I can get a look in there.

Replace MH's yearly and PC's when needed. We can usually tell when they need replaced by the color of the tank. It's probably yearly also.
