Maintenance Pet Peeves

[exee]

my pet peeves would have to be trying the move a rock to a better spot only to have my clown fishes start attacking my hands or accidentally knocking over a frag or rock while cleaning and then having a hard time getting it out of the small hole which it fell into...

trying to syphon hair algae at the bottom of the tank that you cannot even touch because it is so bloody deep. i just finished and i get so PO'd by this crap and not being able to reach it to syphon it out. sorry i'm a little frustrated right now.

Oh another one; accidental frags that result from trying to clean all the coraline and algae off your glass.

For me it's cleaning the skimmer and especially the air inlet. Oh I also dislike having to scrape the coraline algae off my acrylic tank(refugium) with a plastic card.

...My clowns are aggro when I venture near their brain coral to vac some detritus, haha.

...I don't vac detritus in that area anymore. :|

Scraping the back and sides is absolutely the worst chore.

LOL, cleaning out my skimmer cup is somewhere between making me want to vomit, and the satisfaction of getting that crud out of my aquarium.
