GaryL February 9, 2014 Share February 9, 2014 So i was curious, what is all you guy/gals daily or weekly routine in maintaining your tank? mine is a lazy way to do it so its feed daily. check top off, and scrub the glass once a week...and possible water change.

Enkay February 9, 2014 Share February 9, 2014 I feed my fishies twice daily. Blackworms mostly. BBS. Some greenies for the tang and foxface. Top off is once in 10 days or so, to top off the top off. I dont do WCs all that regularly. Do scrub the glass once a week. I do check daily if the SPS polyps are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishie89 February 9, 2014 Share February 9, 2014 Daily- Feed fish and/or corals, check on water level, check on skimmerWeekly- water change, empty skimmer cup (this ranges from every 4-7+ days), add more top off waterWhenever I Think Of It- Clean sump and equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryL February 9, 2014 Author Share February 9, 2014 Whenever I Think Of It- Clean sump and equipment Is it a total scrub down? Like if you have tube worms in your sump and skimmer do you clean them out? It's just out of curiosity since I know everyone does different things. I have never been great with sps and I want to gear my new tank towards it. And I think my routine needs to be more routine lol.

rrbigdog February 9, 2014 Share February 9, 2014 Tagging along.. Interest also. Daily - feed, check ato, skimmer, inventory fish. To minimize sump cleanings it houses a chocolate chip star that is an efficient cleaner. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul b February 9, 2014 Share February 9, 2014 I put my finger on the glass to check the temperature then I put it in my mouth to check my temperature. Throw some worms in the tank and I am good to go. My fish have their own routine and they take turns cleaning the glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
