Let's see everyone's weekly, biweekly, monthly, & yearly maintenance schedule.
 
Weekly
Empty skimmer cup and wipe down glass Monday and Thursday.
Clean overflow prefilter once a week.

Monthly
Water change (will be moving to every 2 weeks when I get more fish)
Test all my levels (except ammonia and nitrite lol)

Every 6 months
Clean all pumps and give vinegar baths
Use powerhead to blow out rocks and constantly siphon out water for a 60% total WC.

Once a year
Check all equipment for any visible damage, clean out my pipes for overflow into sump as well as return. Test any automated equipment.
