Minimalist Aquascape approach vs. Showcase approach
When it comes down to making sure that your substrate and tanks are designed as cleanly as possible, do you tend to go with tank designs that allow for you to be more minimalistic and have just rock and substrate with a…

Where do you place your heater at?
With bigger tanks comes a bigger issue when it comes to having multiple pieces of equipment running to ensure there is a backup if one fails suddenly. With tanks bigger than 75 gallons, do you have it somewhere in the…
Sale is back on until November 25th! I’m sure we’ll see some killer Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals as well!
I took out the Amazon sword from this tank since it was getting way too large. Additionally, I just noticed my filter died (or was dying) since the GPH flow was extremely slow and caused a huge bacterial bloom. Just…
It seems they have been doing this this past year every other month, or sometimes a week or two off, before another sale. Not sure if they have a bunch of inventory left to sell, or if they are seeing good results from…
No problem! We try to help all of our fellow aquarium owners out with the bigger sales (like I know there is a smaller one right now on some tanks, but not the 50% off sale yet).
It's known to be an issue for some animals (specifically, those who may drink or eat it directly or indirectly), but it's not really known to be an issue when it comes to harming fish - but it will cover your plants if…

Have you ever tuned your skimmer?
Have you ever adjusted or tried to optimize your protein skimmer to ensure it was running more effectively for the way you have it set up in your tank? Did you ever find anything that worked just right, and what were…
This work has been completed, without any failure or known issues being tracked by users. We will keep you updated if there are any other additional server related downtime or notifications that you will all need to be…
Well, in rare news, looks like Petco extended the sale for another month after the last one ended on July 4th.
I would say no. If only 1 line is being used, then the excess air that is spread across the other 3 lines would end up being forced through the only open line. A caveat to this is if the pump has internal piping to…
Do you have a specific budget in mind? I’m assuming that you currently run a canister filter since you noted not wanting to run with any HOB filters or HOB-like skimmers, so you'd for sure have to stay with something…

Fish species ID
I’d say Topaz Cichlid (Archocentrus myrnae) based on their eye colors, and the common trait of them having a black dot in the middle of their body.
Just as a note, this sale is live now!
Updated with a rumored date in June!
I know that the switch to LEDs was huge for the aquarium industry, which also shows as everything else is heading to full LEDs. In terms of the next lighting evolution, it really might depend on the cost she uses (a…
Do you know how big the red light is? And how close it would be to the tank?
I would either have the protein skimmer away from where you are feeding (opposite side of the tank for example), and also make sure to push the food within the water vs. leaving it floating on the top where it may be…
I'd always just ended up replacing the full glass panel for many reasons. Depending on whether it's a chip or crack, you could technically repair chips although there is always the worry that if there was any other…
I would give it time, or try to avoid feeding for a day or two and then use that as food so that they will go after it and eat it. I’d also try to maybe coat them in flakes (if you have any) so that they can get used to…
