Question is:
Each day, I _____________________________ with my tank.

I assure all components running and all fish accounted for as well as temperature on target and all pumps active
 
i would clean glass, and rearrange rockwork due to hermits knocking things over.
You clean glass daily? If so, I always praise having magnet cleaners
 
Feed the critters,add AFR,carbon dose,and magnesium. Clean the glass and fill up ATO. Then sit and watch everything for a good 30 minutes. Lately I've been watching it more hoping the Choati finally comes out of hiding.
 
Clean glass and empty skimmer cup depended on how full it is. Get everybody fed, sit back and enjoy
 
Depends on what’s needed. I have five tanks and they always need something. Today I already did two water changes, cleaned a skimmer and two socks. Yesterday I cleaned all the glass. Might do some fragging later.
 
I look at my tank and think how much better it'd be if I cleaned out some of that algae and then trimmed up the out of control toadstool leather and then added a bit more sand, and then....

Next day I look at my tank and think I need to clean out that algae and then trim the out huge toadstool and then deal with the sand....

Clean my glass, dose feed
 
Check temp, manually add Alk, feed fish, spot feed plate, acan, candycane, and octospawn corals. Look for anything amiss or knocked over. See how many aiptasia are missing. Good job peppermints.
