Summer is coming! What are the maintenance tasks that you know are going to suffer because of summer months?

[Daniel@R2R]

With summer just around the corner, many of us will be spending more time outside of our homes for things like vacations, outdoor activities, and other stuff that will take use away from our reef aquariums. This can make it challenging to maintain our reef tanks as consistently as we do during other times of the year. Which maintenance tasks do you think are likely to suffer during the summer months, and why? Have you experienced any issues in the past with maintaining your tank during the summer? What strategies have you found to be helpful in addressing these challenges?

equipment maintenance, for sure. i clean out my sump about twice a year/every 6mo. but i do admit i neglect my equipment...my lights need a very good cleaning (especially my 'fuge light).

Maybe not specifically maintenance but hoping the storms stay away this year, and we don't lose power for days at a time since I do not own a backup generator yet
