Default Favorite and least favorite chores?

Concerning your general aquarium maintenace:

What is your least favorite maintenance task?

And the one you like to do the most?

I'll go first:

I hate mixing up the dosing recipes. It's messy and I haven't found a very efficient way of doing it yet. I also suck at dosing in general and I'm having a hard time finding the right levels for my tank.

My favorite would probably be cleaning the skimmer. I know you're all thinking I'm crazy right now, but it is! I can see the results of my hard work right after it's done and the smell doesn't really bother me after changing diapers for two years.

my favorite reef related duty is probably feeding the fish...they are always happy to see me

my least favorite would have to be cleaning the sump out....I hate it so much I havnt done it since this version of the tank was set up almost two years ago

Favorite-feeding fish
Least favorite - anything with water, topping up ato or water changes. Water is in the basement, so lugging 5 gl jugs up, 2 a day, water changes, at least 5 trips.

Water changes ATM but I'm sure it'll be cleaning the sump

Favorite part is when company comes over & stands infront of the tank for an hour without saying a word.

Least favorite is not having a big enough tank

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
