    How many times a week do you have to go in to your tank?

    It seems almost everyday I have to get my hands in the tank. Which means I have to change into my shorts, take off my socks and blahblah. Maintaining a tank for me is a full time job!! While I strive for the perfect ecosystem; I am just not there yet. How about you?

    When i had a fish only tank I would rarely test, because everytime I did it was perfect. The only thing I test on a very consistant basis is salinity. The way my tank is set, I just let water evaporate out of the tank and when it gets to be about 3 inches below the top waterline I fill it...
