I’m normally not a fan of dark themes, but this one fits. Any plans on adding a light style theme? Good point! Currently we are still fixing some theme related aspects with this one, we may add a lighter theme once that…
Announcements
I wonder if they will go even further down in price for their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Doesn’t look like that they did, but still isn’t a bad deal overall. Plus it’s the things…
Yes, many places (dependent on the size of the tank) tend to just assemble it at its final destination (might be your house, or possibly a fish shop that can assemble it there) to save costs. Acrylic is pretty heavy,…
Getting Started
We cover this in the saltwater getting started guide, but there are some which are dependent on what your water source is and the pH and hardness levels - since that will mean you need a buffer or a way to reduce such…
Substrate
No, there are some that are similar but they cannot live in either fully freshwater and saltwater. If you have a fish such as a Molly and it gets something, it cannot spread to a saltwater tank since the underlying…
Disease
I’d say the hardest part of saltwater is the learning curve, and the money that can get wasted if you don’t understand the process of maintaining them (can’t just directly add any water to the tank like freshwater). If…
General Discussion
This issue has been resolved - thanks! Shoutbox issue has also been resolved. Working on updating text color has been resolved. I've left the capital letter aspect alone since it requires a few more edits that may…

Thanks for the report! Ironically it’s not just you, and appears to be a design element that has a problem. I’ve already notified the theme designer so that they can fix this problem (so bear with us, it may take a few…

Looks like a bobbit worm in its early stages (hard to tell due to it blending in with the color of the sand). Are you able to take it out and put it in a bowl of just water?
Invertebrate
Exactly, using either silicone pieces to separate it all out or possibly making sure that you have fish that will not mix it around since many will as a territory aspect or may when they get scared. You can also use…
Substrate
Well, looks like one of my submersible lights just burnt out (does not turn on at all, even using another outlet or another charging box). Sadly, it’s outside of the warranty window but makes me wonder if this was…
Tank Journals
I’ve tried to but they all seem pretty unrealistic. I think the most realistic one that took care of needs/wants, and some level of compatibility was probably Zoo Tycoon back in the day with the Marine expansion pack.

Love the look of this game from the quick demo shown in the video. Can’t wait to see this release so people can play it!
Vendor Spotlight
They are old technology that used the substrate as the filter and allowed for all of the beneficial bacteria to grow in. The problem is that any fish that like to dig will ruin it, and it also only does biological…
I mostly did research and designed the tank around their care (or around the other fish that also were going to be in there). Never, ever, go to a fish store and buy a fish without knowing their care and having the…

Reply Fin Rot?
We do have an article on this on treatment and causes, but would for sure do some large water changes and then treat with the medicine that this recommends; https://aquariu.ms/freshwater/disease/fin-rot/Fin Rot
Disease
I’ve have them before, but would definitely recommend that you setup the whole enclosure to what they need (water, also land area that has possibly dirt in it/mud). They are pretty cool, make interesting noises when…
Amphibian
Many people suggest using a mixture, dependent on your algae that is growing and how big your tank is. I always highly recommend Malaysian trumpet snails since they are hidden during the day, Otocinclus catfish, some…
Algae
Red algae is pretty rare in a freshwater tank, and is commonly found in saltwater tanks (think of it as their version of how common green algae is in freshwater tanks). As far as it being the same - kind of, but not…
Algae
I don’t think that there are any animals that specifically eat the waste from another animal. Many think that snails or shrimp do, but what they really are doing is picking apart the waste for the uneaten parts of food…
