Re: Topic of the Week August 21 - tank maintenance!

LOL.. we all get slack every now and then. I seem to get in a slump once a year

The rewards of keeping a clean tank are many, many times over the energy it takes to do it. I have no algae issues at all, my sand is pristine and white, my fish are fat and sassy, and my corals/anemones are uber healthy. That makes me very happy

Let's calculate the time envolved.. it won't be much at all and you slackers will feel guilty

Daily: = < one minute
Twice weekly: = < 6 minutes
Weekly: = < 1 hour
Biweekly: = < 30 minutes
Monthly: = zero
Every three months: < 20 minutes
Every 8 months: < 5 minutes
Every year: = < 5 minutes

The average is right at 1.5 hours per week. Not bad at all for 2 tanks!
