Average time spent a day looking and working in your tank

[duke62]

Just curious on the average daily time spent fixing, testing , moving corals around or just plain oUt staring at. I know for myself when the kids are in school and I am doing nothing I'm eating,reading and on the internet right by my tank. In usually looking at every coral to make sure every bit of tissue looks good on my corals and staring at the fish to make sure they all look healthy. Looking at every piece of equipment a day and listening to the sounds to make sure they are on point and looking around the fish tank room for any kind of DIY ideas. So I'm going to say in good for 2 to 4 hours a day looking at the tank and probably longer when I hook up my apex camera

I have fish but they are still enjoyable to watch. Feeding, filter cleaning and tidying up shoots up time that I don't regret spending.

I voted about 1-2 hours. Checking ATO res, checking what my reef angel is reporting multiple times day from my phone, feeding, sometimes even take a quick look at what the night time clean up crew is doing after lights are out for bit. Watching my Tiger Pistol shrimp get mad when hermits try to go into his burrow lol. He shovels them back out.

I try to spend as much time in the fish room and with my tank as I can.
I think I could get lost in there for most of the day if I didn't have to hear
" You know if you spent as much time as you did working around the house as you do with the fish we could live in a mansion" wa,wa,wa lol
