On average how much time do you need to dedicate on a weekly basis to the maintenance of the average sized tank?
How difficult is that maintenance?

That will vary.
For most, early on in the hobby, they either do too much or not enough.
I believe in hands free.
Great equipment, like a massive skimmer, triple to quadruple what the tank would require normally.
Water changes once a month - I do 50%.
Remove the rocks (in my case as I have to bleach them), once a month, when I do my water changes.
My tank takes once a month, but that day takes me about 3-4 hours due to the slow process in bleaching the rocks, to ensure no chlorine back in the tank.
The same regimen is what I did for my customers for years.
