Geez...looking at this makes me realize how insane I really am!

Daily:
- Feed 1x, sometimes 2x
- Drain skimmer cup
- visual check of tank pH, temperature graphs over past 24hrs
- manual dosing of VSV, sponge power, Amino Acids, Coral Vitalizer...and/or whatever else I'm experimenting with these days.
- Visual health check and fish count!
- Stop maintenance activities for 2 minutes to actually enjoy looking at the tank

Every 2 or 3 days:
- Clean 'glas

Weekly:
- Clean skimmer neck/cup
- Alk test, Nitrate test, Phosphate test
- 10% water change

Biweekly:
- Replace Kalk in Reactor
- Replace RowaPhos/Carbon (rotating schedule)
- Pull out dead coral and replace with new $50 piece (kidding)

Monthly:
- Ca test, Mg test
- Get right in there and scrape coraline

Annually:
- Replace all bulbs
- Calibrate probes
- Replace all peristaltic pump tubes
- Service all pumps and OM4ways
- Replace CO2

Biannually:
- Replace probes
