ill go first.

weekly i clean the glass, empty and clean skimmer cups and necks, than i go around with a baster and blow off the rocks and stir up the sand a bit, then I clean out my filter socks and give the whole system a good look around and make sure everything is working right. also i mix up some new kalk about every 4 days for my ato

monthly i try do do atleast a 30% water change and test the parameters.

after this months water change in going to start doing atleast 5% weekly water changes. and see how everything responds. as of right now im using zero chemical filtration and everything seems to be doing good. i also want to start keeping a log of my tank maintaince im bad about letting time slip by and it gets my schedual all out of wack.

hey everyone, I would like to get a general consensus about what everyone does weekly and monthly to keep their systems running happy and healthy.

just simply post a description of what you do each week then what you do each month.
