What did you do for your tank?

[Mekaeel]

I was just wondering, what did you guys do for your tank this weekend? Be it maintenance, adding livestock, water parameter test etc....

Lets update this thread weekly so we get an idea of what we did, what others did, and what we can do to improve our systems...

I will start:

25l water change
Siphoned spots of hair algae
Cleaned glass
Siphoned detritus from last chamber of sump and added a pump to the chamber so that detritus does not settle.
Stirred up substrate.
Replaced Carbon.
Cleaned lighting unit splash guard.
Glued down a few loose frags.

Lets hear your story...

Hi Ivan

Is this a once off thing or something you do regularly to create different patterns of flow?

Hi Ivan

Do it in a sort of pattern...as often as possible, but always revert to same settings and pump positions and leave it there, which is a gyre flow.... Two RW15's in 160L kinda gets the gyre going..... But think i need two RW 8's to get what I really want... Then change it randomly for a few hours, aim it at my tanks base, cause a detritus storm for an hour or three..... Then back to gyre.
