How many....?
I think the most that I have ever added to a new tank, was about 30 neon tetras in a 48 gallon Bowfront tank that I had purchased used at the time. They were the first set of fish that I had added once it was done…
Do you know if the tank is near a window, or possibly, if you are possibly ovefeeding or someone else is? I’ve found for those three algae types, you must have somewhere that extra nutrients are coming into it your tank…
Do you have any updates on where you added the driftwood at? I’m curious since I’m thinking about getting a turtle after reading that article guide on here. Yes! I just added in 3 more photos, to show the updates. I…

Have you kept a clam only tank?
Have you kept a clam only tank before? And if so, what was your experience with them and how did you have the tank laid out (any corals, live rocks, or decorations)? Is there anything that you would have wished you knew…
I would suggest getting a PAR light meter, since it can sit at the bottom of your tank or at any level and tell you the actual light reading it’s getting back (since fish swimming around will change the light level…
I normally don’t mind the snails unless they are huge pests one. Then I would avoid getting a fish just to eat the snails (same said when people have algae problems and get an algae eater) as once the problem is gone,…
Looks like an event started last weekend, and ends November 28 2021. I’m not sure if this is regional since my contact and area don’t have this going on, but just as a word to all to check!
With a bunch of the shopping still being done online, minus the handful of stores or pieces of equipment that are just too big to handle online (ex; Petsmart’s deal on their aquarium tank and stand combo), what are you…
Where do you purchase your shells for your crabs and snails at, and how do you disinfect them properly if you purchased them at a craft store for example? Do you look for any specific designs or types of shells…

Do you rinse your new live sand?
Like any new substrate (or even re-used substrate), do you tend to rinse it out thoroughly or do you just put it into your tank and let any debris settle out over time? Do you have any types of tests that you do to…
I’m not too sure, it really depends if they have a way to label out your given tanks or if they really will only let you link one at a time (which I feel like is the worst case possible). Did you give it a shot and see…

What types of food do you feed your fish?
With all the types of foods out there, which ones you do you feed your fish and why?

What is your go to method to catch fish in a net?
With some species it can honestly be super easy to catch them in a net, however others are either super fast or are super smart and can avoid being caught in a net for awhile. What are your go to methods to make sure…
I think efficiency really can only be talked about based on how big your tank size is, and other equipment. As far as more reliable, it tends to be those that aren’t cheap when it comes to protein skimmers and those…
From a chemical reaction standpoint, I believe that it would take a large amount of time for any element to be fully released and not able to be re-captured by any substrate. Similar to how many use those (in…
I’ve seen people use all different types of sand that come in a bulk like pricing/package, such as you noted pool filter sand, play sand, or the black diamond grit blasting sand. I’ve even seen people who try to buy…
I try to not recommend adding a breeder box or separating into a different tank, since it can add some additional stress especially due to the fact that many of the breeder boxes are small and kind of restrict their…
I will normally take some flake food, or even better, sometime small like a leaf and see how it will move around. By dropping it at various levels in the water column and different areas in the tank, you can see where…

Anemone carrying ich?
I’ve never personally heard of any anemones having ich, are you sure that there aren’t any other invertebrates (hitchhikers even) that may have been accidentally added in who carried it? It could also be that those…
I know that there are a bunch of people who have seen this happen, specifically due to the fact that the gender of a livebearer is noted to be done by whichever organs are done first (I’m not sure if there is any actual…
