Can this hold tanks?
Do you know the weight rating of the unit itself? A lot of times they have a maximum weight limit, and then it should tell you a per shelf limit (since that particle board/wood can only hold so much). From there it…

WoltLab Internal Error
We currently have had a third-party do status uptime checks (and page load speed tests) from around the world at a set interval. So far it appears that this trend is keeping (unfortunately) steady from around 2AM MST to…

Tank size for beginners
100% agree, the bigger the better when it’s your first time with saltwater. Ideally anything above 40-55 gallons would be ideal since it has more room for you to get used to doing water changes, testing for various…

Do you use an air pump with your tanks?
As the poll states, do you personally use an air pump on your tanks and if so why? If you use an air pump for a sponge filter, I would exclude that usage since it has a dual purpose (for both the filter and to create…
How can you tell if it’s normal vs a disease or something? Like does fin rot turn pieces darker or some other diseases? Most diseases will end up either fraying the fins, or if it’s a color change, will either change to…

What is the first disease you had in your saltwater tank?
With a vast variety of different diseases that are out there, and the ones that are somewhat common in the marine hobby, what was your first disease that you had?
Stores normally have then exposed and closer to the light so it’s easier for them to sell, while also allowing for you, the buyer, to inspect them fully. Plus the closer you are, the more vibrant you can see their…

what is this? HELP
You can use heat or the medicine approach, but if you use medicine make sure to take out any carbon in your filter(s) otherwise the carbon will soak it up and it won’t be in the tank for the fish.

Live plants necessary?
I wouldn’t specifically say that they are necessary, but they are highly beneficial. Plants can soak up some ammonia, nitrite, and more specifically nitrate which is the last bioproduct from the nitrogen cycle and…

what is this? HELP
Yes, that is the perfect sign of a fish that is heavily infected with Ich (or also known as Ick). Please read out article on this as it recommends various different treatment methods since some people don’t like using…
I like the styles, but is there a way to change colors for links? Half the time the text on mobile looks like it isn’t a link but it really is and vice versa. Good suggestion that I ironically was thinking on changing…
how are those tanks setup wise? Like was the Gourami your original intention or was it a backup plan since other fish don’t like the horizontal space? Ironically when I first started this up I wanted to do a bunch of…
I personally have not used it as I find there are other methods to take care of algae then just dumping a product in. I know that some fish do not do well with it at all, and others have even said that if you dose even…
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…
We have finally received the update from Tapatalk that has resolved this!
I’ll look into fixing this permission issue so that you can close your own threads vs. having to request or wait for a moderator to do so. Once this has been resolved I’ll close this thread out - thanks!
Any hints on when the next one will be by chance? We’re still awaiting for a few more weeks before we hear any rumored dates - stay tuned!
Ironically I’ve asked my locale store about this a handful of times. I know they have them in their distribution centers as of a few weeks ago - but for some reason they have yet to ship them out to the stores…
A lot of time fish will change color as they mature and age out. This can be slight changes, up to a full on color change (such as going from white/black coloration to gold for example). Other times they can change…
With everything going on ranging from the various wild fires, to extreme heat in some regions, it can be HUGELY important to have a backup plan in case there are any rolling power outages in your area. Some of the…
