My least favorite task is emptying and cleaning the skimmer. It's the only unenjoyable task.

Plus one! The skimmer smell makes me throw up a bit in my mouth every time. But I really like all the other things I would say this is the only crappy task IMO.

Toss up-

Cleaning the back glass and pulling/cleaning my pumps. Those 2 overrule water changes by a long shot, which would be my 3rd least favorite thing to do on my reef tank.

cleaning the glass because it always splashes over the side which makes it so I have to clean the out said as well.

My least favorite would be cleaning the skimmer also! It's just nasty!

Keeping my macro algae under control.

Getting back in after being a year out and brushing up on all the new technology. Hunting for a new LED lighting system!

I have to agree on the skimmer! How can something so small smell so bad? My wife would agree also, she hates it when I clean the skimmer in the house so makes me go out in the garage and use the laundry sink then bleach everything when I am done.

I hate testing parameters.

Hehehe I am such a nerd I like testing my water and then charting it... Holding the little glass beakers makes me feel like a mad scientist!
