![]() 2-3 hours on weekends doing regular maintenance (water changes, testing, tweaking, renailing frags down because my wrasse has rooted underneath). Sometimes an extra hour fixing stuff I buggered up during the regular maintenance (ie frags, rockslides etc)

![]() We spend about fifteen minutes per day feeding, and about two to three hours on the weekend on water changes and cleaning.
Now if you want to count staring into the tanks just checking things out, well, at least two hours per day! |

![]() My old tank was at about 1 hour per week, and 1 minute per day for feeding.
Now...I've got the new tank and typical new tank problems (multiplied by 500 gallons)...so I'm easily 1 hour per day, plus 6+ hours on the weekend. There is a lot of good designing in the new tank that should make my tasks much easier and quicker than the old tank...eventually.

![]() About 3-5 hours per week for me. Depending on how busy I am with Life. This winter I'm sure that will double though.
