Weekend Reefing Plans

[Fish Styx]

Good morning and Happy Friday, fellow reefers! As many of us collectively approach the finish line for our respective work weeks, we look forward to the weekend for time to decompress and to focus on the things we love. Sometimes though, that means catching up on the chores we love to hate (i.e. skimmer cup cleaning <yuck!>).

So, I was wondering: what are your weekend reefing plans? Are you going to a frag swap or LFS, taking care of some overdue maintenance (I see you over there with the dirty glass), or do you just plan on relaxing in front of your little slice of the ocean and enjoying the fruits of your labor?

Setting up a new 25g Lagoon. I had to downsize from a 150g so its a whole new world for me to be able to reach the bottom of the tank without getting my shoulder wet :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

I'm picking up a few corals and doing some maintenance.

My weekend starts today cause I have to get some imaging done on my shoulder. Was gonna hang out with the gf but she has to go into work early today (she’s a nanny) so I guess I have a whole day after lunch now…

May finally get around to getting a 10g sump plumbed in to my existing 20g long tank… just gonna have to do a lot of work for it cause I also want to put in a reverse undergavel filter. Probably gonna do a small rip clean of the sand to make certain there isn’t anything anoxic I’m pushing into the water column afterward

A little maintenance and testing.

Ugh... wet armpits are like German sausages... they're the worst! Get it? Wurst / worst?! Nevermind, I'll see myself out...

I hope everything goes smoothly, and you finish in time to relax a bit.

Namaste.

A little maintenance goes a long way... That about sums up my weekend plans, though I will be introducing a new Ornate Leopard Wrasse to my system later on this afternoon.

I did my maintenance yesterday. I scraped all the glass, bleach soaked my powerheads, water change, cleaned filter socks and skimmer, and ran ozone.

My tank looks phenomenal now! :)

I need to pick up replacement blades for my scrapers.

"Why you gotta call me out about the dirty glass in front of God and everybody"? LOL

This weekends plans: Water change in the reef, only 8 gallons. Clean the glass..... Going sunday to pick up a used 210gallon reef ready aqueon tank. <---That is the fun part.

Time for the good ol glass cleaning and clean out the algae scrubber and run some tests. Hopefully no surprises in that department.

Awesome! Now you get to relax (hopefully) and enjoy it.

Sweet! I hope to see the build thread for that 210 soon! Also, sorry not sorry for the glass...

This weekends plan is to get my tank ready to leave it for 8 days . I have an avast auto feeder to take care of the feeding. I just put up a camera on the tank. I’m going to have a neighbor available in case of emergency and hope not to need them.

Sounds like you have a solid plan in place!

 

[ReeferCO]

I hope so! I have been doing everything I can think of. I’m still terrified! I hate leaving the tank.

Yeah, same. Sending positive vibes your way, dude.

Namaste.

I have no actual reefing plans for this weekend. You know why and I really wish it wasn’t the case. So, if it counts, the extent of my reefing this weekend will be occasionally popping on here, giving most a hard time, possibly throwing some suggestions at questions and giving most a hard time.

Speaking of giving most a hard time: that worst comment… oof! It was the worst! I’d tell you not to quit your day job but we both know that’s not possible!
