For me, every morning I get up and go downstairs I'll swing by my tank to make sure everything is still alive in it and make sure everything is working. I am wondering what do you do every morning when you see your tank?

Yep. Same here. I look at fish and coral to make sure they're fine, and look at my powerheads to make sure they're not stuck. Morning and throughout the day. My kids make fun of me for starring at my tank. Maybe they're a little jealous.

I'm currently keeping an eye on a hammer that's not too happy. It's been 2-3 days so I'll give it a dip and continue to monitor.

I walk right by it, lights are off. I may check the sump in the kitchen to see if the levels are correct, but my tank makes a little noise, so that usually tells me everything is running.

Dude! Why? What’s the hold up?
Been waiting for 6 months on repairs after a leak in the house. However, this past week, we finally finished, so now things should get moving...hopefully.

Check to make sure everything is running and then add top off water to the back chamber. But not for long, my ATO arrives this week!

I glance around looking for water in places it shouldn't be.

I don't do much beyond disaster checking in the morning. Most of my interaction comes when I get home from work.

Honestly? I get in close to look for little new critters, followed by checking on life for everything then equipment. If equipment has catastrophically failed in any possible way I’ll have enjoyed my tank and had a peaceful moment to precede any chaos lol
