Maintenance Pet Peeves

Not really what your looking for, but I'm peeved .
Planning to empty the skimmer collection cup the next day (tomorrow!) and the skimmer decides to go crazy and overflow (today!) thus dumping 10 days worth of skimmate back into the system. Grrrrrrrrr!

Mine . . . Cleaning up "after cleaning up" . . . you know . . . after YOU THINK your done cleaning for the day. . .

Then you have to clean your buckets, your brushes, scrapers, syphons, etc etc . . oh and specially the bathroom where I wash most of my stuff . . .

If this post doesnt make sense sorry im really tired . . . for those of you who gets it . . . Kudos to you =)

the thing I hate the most is mixing the water so it's exactly the same parameters as the tank, alk, mg, ca.
It used to be cleaning the glass, but I spent some money on a real mag float and the OM algae cleaner attachment, and that's turned into something I can actually handle doing twice a week.

My pp is taking apart a mag drive pump clean it or whatever then put it all together only to have it leak & have to do it all over again!!!!!!! But my #1 pp is micro bubbles they will drive me to

Trying to get detritus from hard to reach areas or clean the glass where the rocks are too close to it....and then bumping one &**&%^ rock and having all of them displaced, then screwing around with them for an hour to get them stable again.. Soooo bleeping frusterating
