Filter Sock cleaning frequency and other maintenance items...

[grendel]

So how often do y'all do it?

What do y'all do?

Skimmer cleaning, cleaning filter socks, water tests, bed cleaning, water changes?


I hate doing it, but I wonder if I am doing it right, too much or not enough.

I am building out a project plan that will shoot me email reminders and the like. I am also publishing it to my web page when it's complete...

I'm probably a bad example.

Skimmer 2-3x/week
Filter socks, change weekly
Water tests, salinity 2-3x (when doing skimmer) weekly
Water changes, 20% weekly on heavy stocked tank (72+10 sump) and biweekly on the lightly stocked one (50 breeder + 50 breeder sump&fuge)
