Daily:
- clean the glass front with magnet cleaner
- check temp of tank
- check health of all life-stock
- adding kalkwasser (my RO drips water the whole time into my tank)
- I check SG level every day - to ensure that I do not have problems with too much salt/too litle salt in the water - due to evaporation not always being the same - then adjust the dripping of my RO water into the tank....
- feed the fish

- check the health of my fish/corals - pick up any corals that might have been moved by the current in the tank or by my hermit crabs/fish
- check all of the water parameters (pH, calcium, alkalinity, nitrate - I only check nitrate/ammonia levels if I see that my corals are not looking too healthy)
