Don't Let Your Pets Become Pests

Dumping anything out of an aquarium such as fish, animals, and plants can have devastating consequences for any natural waterbodies. When they’re dumped into the wild they can introduce diseases or become serious predators, killing off local fish colonies, and damaging reefs and vegetation that keep our underwater ecosystem alive and healthy.

Doing Water Changes With Saltwater Tanks

Performing regular water changes are fundamentally important to maintain the overall water chemistry inside of a closed ecosystem. The frequency on which one needs to do a water change on their specific tank will vary based on size, bioload, and other factors - however it is a required aspect to make sure that water chemistry is balanced as it will fluctuate through time.

  • Avery Replied to the thread Is Superglue safe?.

    Gilbert took the answer right from my mouth - it really depends on if you got the aquatic/aquarium safe superglue or not, otherwise I’d avoid it since it won’t work and head towards using silicone (aquatic/aquarium safe must be checked as well).

  • Avery Marked Gilbert’s post in the thread Is Superglue safe? as the best answer.

    I think it depends, I’ve seen a handful of aquarium/aquatic safe superglue, but the issue becomes when you use normal superglue it actually will just dissolves over time in the water in chunks. I’d be super careful on what type of superglue are that…

    Good point, I’ll get started on writing up an article on this as like you said the setup is a mixture between the two. From there once I’m done writing more of the basic information content for freshwater and saltwater, I can…

  • Avery Reacted with Like to Gilbert’s post in the thread getting started into brackish setups.

    I’m not sure if they have an article in the works (since I know that they noted saltwater and freshwater would be completed before brackish), but might make sense to pull one together since it should be a mixture of both already there.

    Maybe @Avery…

    Do you ever check the expiration date for your chemicals, or testing kits? Have you ever used anything that is either expired before or about to be?

  • darrie53 Replied to the thread Good starting saltwater fish?.

    Clownfish tend to be the way starting fish, due to their ability to handle a bigger range of water parameter changes that a new saltwater tank owner will have. Ideally many start with hermit crabs or snails since it will be highly evident if something is…

  • darrie53 Posted the thread Have you used freshwater lights in a saltwater tank.

    Have you ever used freshwater lights in a saltwater tank, and if so, how did it end up? Was the saltwater tank just a fish only setup, or did it have more like corals? How did you supplement the light needs for corals or live rock?

  • darrie53 Replied to the thread How do you prevent backflow in your setup?.

    ALWAYS make sure that you have an overflow box, to where if there was a power outage that the overflow box would handle it and cut off the water supply so it never exceeds outside of your tank
