Default How much time to maintain aquarium?

I am a newbie who wants to start a large sal****er mixed fish/coral
aquarium. How much time per week does it take to maintain a large
aquarium of this type?


For me (100g tank, ~140 gallons total system volume):

- 10 minutes per day to feed fish and make sure the topoff tank is full.
- 1 hour a week for misc cleaning (glass mostly)
- 1 hour every two months to change water
- 2 hours every two months to clean the skimmer and whatever else might
need it.

LOTS of time: watching all the life!
