    I spend more time on 3reef than I do with my tank. It's funny because I was thinking about this today and was going to post the same thing. I don't think I could live with out 3reef.

    probably like 20-30 hours a week (1-4 hours a day?).. as a minimum, im weak... but almost everything i have is diy, so i can be working on something from 8am to 5am the next morning on caffeine and other human "supplements" fun fun

    only really takes me half an hour for maintance which is once a week, top offs take 1 minute once every couple days. But as far as watching goes, it's endless! it's in my room, right in front my bed, so now i'm spending a lot of time in my room watching the tank, gets addicting just watching htem swim. I havea tv in my room too, i have the t.v. on but i find myself looking towards the tank than up at it

    I probably spend 3-4 hours on the 3reef most days.

    probably spend an hour off and on during the average day watching the tanks. More when I can spare it like the weekends.

    Lately Ive been trying my damnest to keep hands out of the tank. Hands too often in tank cause more harm than good. But I spend at least 15 min a day. and in most extreme cases hours at a time (which is often).

    A poll should be started.... "how often do you windex your glass"

    About 30 to 45 a day after work, but the weekends are a different story....
