Does anyone else have strange quirks that feel like no one else does when it comes to making your reef, or tanks in general? I do. From my planted setups, to my reefs, with my cultures included, I have a couple.
-I don't like throwing used media bags and/or their content away immediately. I like to fill up a container with tank water and let the inhabitants (mostly pods, but sometimes a periwinkle or an asterina) trickle out over 24 hours so that i can put them back in the tank before getting rid of the spent media.
-i try to always wear gloves when i stick my hand in my tank. Whether my fw or my sw tank, i constantly worry that i will have something on my bare skin that might damage my tanks.
-when trimming my planted tanks, i tend to leave the clippings in a water bucket so that like media bags, they can get a chance to come back.
-when doing water changes, i use spent freshwater to water the plants.
-when cleaning my skimmer and skimmate, i use it as fertilizer.
More might come to me later.,what are the weird things that you do ?
