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 Larry

2 FW tanks (15 years old), 1 SW tank (5 months old), total about 3-4 hours a week maintenance, including feeding times 2 or 3 times a day each tank. Plus many, many hours of staring at the tanks, especially the new SW!

Just my one 60 gallon. I probably spend an avg of 20-30 min a day, some days less, some more. I like to keep the glass as clean as possible, so I spend a fair bit of time with that.
I find I can always find something to do. If I have an hour to kill, not a problem!
