Are you making sure you are measuring the inside of the tank and not the outside? The dimensions on most boxes show the outside for shipping information, however the inside is different and where the true volume is…
This isn’t the case with all tanks, which I’ll outline below; Glass Now with glass tanks, all of the pressure is actually applied and spread to the corners of the tank (which is why you have tank stands that only hold…
I’ve tried to play a few but they become so stupidly unrealistic it kind of takes the fun out. Last real one I thought was almost spot on was Zoo Tycoon with their Marine Life Expansion Pack. Good call on Zoo Tycoon, I…

Best starter tank size
100% agree that the bigger that you can go, the more it gives you the room to let levels move around without having to constantly check. Normally around 40+ gallons is where people start with saltwater, unless you want…
Have you tried to reduce the amount of lighting you have (hours on, or the PAR)? Otherwise are you able to remove it with a sponge underwater or is it more “stuck on”?

Feeding live foods?
I haven’t fed live foods (mostly have been either dried OR frozen) - but I would always make sure that either you raise the source of food yourself, or find a extremely repeatable seller since a lot can have either no…
I like the plant on driftwood look. Any issues with algae with it being so close to the window? No big issues, I do have some nice growth of green algae on the leaves but nothing on the tank walls (due to the snails…
And that wraps up the contest entry period - we’ll be counting all of the valid results before assigning them to a random number and releasing who won. Stay tuned in the next coming day for that result. Good luck to…

Algae Eaters?
What type of algae are you having issues with the most? Many algae eaters only eat a specific type of algae (or types) and not every kind, so narrowing it down can help us with some recommendations.

only plants?
Yes, and they are pretty cool to also look at. You mostly would want to have some sort of macro and micro nutrient elements (such as having soil as the substrate, or by dosing with fertilizers). This is what a lot of…
I normally use a mixture of liquid fertilizers, and will also push down root tabs. When I used a substrate such as Flourite I mostly just overdosed with liquid fertilizers for it to absorb it (while also placing a TON…

What is this?
Those are eggs from a snail, more specifically mystery (apple) snails that are sold in pet stores. If they are kept moist from the humidity from the tank and not dipped into water/under water, they have a pretty high…
Looks like they have investigated and found nothing wrong. Ironically I also tried to reproduce this again and everything came through correctly. If you see this again let us know via the contact us form or by making an…
This has been resolved for all platforms (make sure you clear your cache if it doesn’t automatically show the corrections for you).
As a small update they will be looking into this shortly - will keep you updated as I hear more information! Note: in order for them to validate what is going on, I have turned the in-app registration on (although it…
Good catch! I’ll work on fixing the colors on that map since even the blue/grey with the boxes of “Map” and “Satellite” is pretty hard to read as well. I’ll bring it back to the normal coloration it would have by…
I’ve submitted a ticket to Tapatalk since I noticed this too when I tried myself. In the meantime I’ve disable in-app registration until it can be resolved.
Duplicate to the following thread; Tapatalk can't validate user
Yes. I’ve been bitten a few times by fish (most aren’t bad and actually tickle), but the ones that hurt are by turtles (man they snap hard) or bigger fish.

Black Friday Hauls
That isn’t bad at all! Sadly I was stuck at other stores and my local Petsmarts all had their Black Friday stock sold out.
