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!

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!
