I got to thinking after rectifying my #1 laziest thing recently and realized when I turn focus into other hobbies I am prone to do A LOT half steppin and having to catch myself before things go down hill. Here's my top 5, what are yours?
5. (and most common) feed dry food instead of frozen.
4. Skipping manual dosing (I use polyp lab one, has to be shaken/manually dosed). This is super lazy as it takes 2 minutes out my life tops. Luckily I've never skipped more than a day or had any immediate effects.
3. Skipped water change interval cause I didn't want to mix salt (I have an RODI, two buckets of salt, small tanks and dedicated container for it).
2. No water testing. When I'm into it I have tested phosphates DAILY for weeks straight.
1. The most ridiculous thing I've ever done- unplugged my skimmer for like 2 weeks because I didn't want to take it out and clean it after noticing obvious grime related poor performance.
I can think of at least 3 more honorable mentions that didn't make the cut.
