There is away to scrape Coraline from glass. I use to spend an hour or more with a long handle scraper. I learned how to frag as the long handle scraper usually broke chunks off my favorite coals. Then Chin Lee told me about this scraper attachment and now it takes me about 5 minutes to scrape my 125G and my 180G.

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

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.
