I feel kinda bad saying this but I spend about 2Hr's a month on my SW and less than that on my FW system (excluding DIYprojects) :biggrin:

weekdays-
1 hour in the mornings to feed fish, vacuum larvae and fry tanks, feed rotifers.
1 1/4 hours in the evening to feed fish, vacuum larvae and fry tanks, feed rotifers, and harvest phytoplankton.
1 hour per night on average for maintenance.

weekends- same schedule with an additional 2 hours per day spent on maintenance.

so in total, I spend around 25 hours per week
I don't know why I am going to be putting in more tanks

Sunday's: 2hrs..water change..wipe down cabinets...clean sump
Week Day's: once a day feeding [ 2 min. ]...clean all glass [ am ] scrape back wall glass PM [ hand scrapper ]...don't like coraline...clean skimmer every second day...tinkering time per week about 2 / 3 hrs.
Add 20 min's per week to attach sock to overflow pipe and remove two days later,clean so it's ready for next water change.
I am a retiree so I have all kinds of spare time, say what..." Yike "

I put in about 4-8 hours a week... really depends on how tired I am after work.

1-2 hrs a week on my FW tank., feeding and cleaning. Havnt got the SW up yet so.

Bout 3 hours But ya shoulda put a poll, woulda been easier.

daily feeding and glass cleaning, water top up...... 15min.

sundays is water change day....I do a 20 litre change every week instead of a bigger change once per month. Suck up the dietrius and stuff...clean skimmer approx. once per week....so about 1 hour

Total time about just under 3 hours a week.

About 20 minutes a day feeding and general cleaning. Then about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs on weekend doing more in-depth maintenance.

2 FW tanks (15 years old), 1 SW tank (5 months old), total about 3-4 hours a week maintenance, including feeding times 2 or 3 times a day each tank. Plus many, many hours of staring at the tanks, especially the new SW!

Don't watch t.v. - watch laptop & aquarium ;)

Just my one 60 gallon. I probably spend an avg of 20-30 min a day, some days less, some more. I like to keep the glass as clean as possible, so I spend a fair bit of time with that.

I find I can always find something to do. If I have an hour to kill, not a problem!
