Surely, it takes more than a minute to do maintenance
. Filling up a 20 Litre bucket and adding dechlorinater already takes 4-5 mins. After maintenance, also need to do dry floor and clean/dry the pails, dry scissors, tubings, etc.
Realistically, it takes me 2 hours to maintain my 185L tank. That includes all the above and cleaning the canister filters, bi-weekly. If need to clean canister tubings, lily pipes and intake will take even longer....
Large tank has the advantage of not needing to do water change every week if no algae, low fish/shrimp stock.
