Time is something all of us wish we had more of. Sometimes life gets in the way of us caring for our reef tanks, and we wish we had more time to tend to our tanks. When your time is short, are you rushing to get a task done, or do you come back to it when you have more time? For example, your tank needs the filter sock cleaned, you are limited on time, but you know you need to get it done. Are you rushing to clean it, or coming back a different day when you have more time to properly clean it?

I’ve had water mixed in my change tank for two weeks.

It’ll be there in another week I’m sure.

Depends on the problem really. For the most part, I’m a lazy reefer. Only have one of my 3 25lb bags of sand in the tank, it’s been running since I think November?

For things I can swap like socks, I buy spares and can change it without needing to wash the old one. I defrost a weeks worth of food, only thing I do often is empty the skimmer and feed.
