Never ending to-do list anyone?

[HiFidelity]

haha I just thought I'd post a thread to see how many others are having the same experience? here goes;

Since the start of my tank November 2 years ago I've realized that I've constantly chased a never ending to-do-list with my tank, whether it's to frag a coral or reprogram my controller I can never get to the bottom of the list, every time I finish a portion of it at the same time new items are being added and thus the list never ends.

Right now my Tunze alarm has gone off (probably a stuck float switch or something) and at some point today I have to get off my butt and figure out what tripped the alarm. I still need to do some clean up (that one I can never check off) and sort out some extra equipment that I'm no longer using, also I need to setup my sump, pumps, skimmer etc. etc. you get the idea...

So I'm not saying it's a bad thing since I'm one of those who can't not build something or stop tinkering with the equipment or tank, therefore there's never a time where I go to my tank and I'm thinking "I'm just going to sit there with a cold one and stare at my tank" perhaps I've developed extension hobbies within the hobby?

A reefers job is never done.

Love that feeling after cleaning the acrylic/glass, everything looks crystal clear, enjoyment... a few days later you see you have to clean some other spots... why don't those snails do a better job!

Ah yes, the lists....

I keep two lists.
One for annoying fixes I really need to get done.
The other for fun projects I want to do.

I do not allow myself to work on the second list until first list is empty.
Incentive to keep that list short.

Nice, until I get sick of things, cheat on my rule, and work on list 2 anyway.
