What type of chiller do you use?
With the big difference in how the heat is exhausted in different types or chillers, and their specific setup within the tank, which chiller do you use and how would you rate it?

Have you tried to make your own food before?
Since buying some foods can be ideal (and easy), in some cases (specifically with fry or smaller fish) - have you ever made your own food supply such as with brine shrimp, daphnia, etc.? If so - how successfully was it?
I feel like they will sadly sell them regardless since there are far too many people who want to get a cheap pet and think that fish bowls are the way to go. In some stores, you can tell the fish bowls are barely…

Fake coral vs real coral
I’ve seen plenty of people and places use fake coral since it’s by far less demanding, allows for the fish and appearance from afar to look like real coral, and let’s places/people just focus on the fish vs. have to…
Time to win! Do we post when we follow the bonus entries too?? Nope, just once as you did to confirm you are wanting to enter into this contest. Once the contest period ends, we’ll calculate every user to see if they…

Good heater brands?
Heaters tend to break when they are turned on/off too much, or if there isn’t enough flow around them which results in them heating the water too much around their area. Some good brands include (in my opinion); Aqueon,…

Good for planted tanks?
If you want to avoid all of those (and the hassle with a soil based substrate capped with sand), you can always try some of the following; Seachem Flourite Carib Sea Eco Complete Fluval Stratum Seachem Oynx They…
There are tons of common saltwater algae types, including the same types we see in freshwater. Those include; Hair Algae, Brown Algae (Diatoms), Green Algae, Red Algae (Cyanobacteria), and what is known as Bubble Algae.
I agree, I think that they are pretty cool looking and when done right, can really make a tank look super cool. The only downfall is that many of the GloFish tanks that are sold as a kit tend to be WAY smaller than what…
I honestly haven’t done much to this tank. Currently it’s growing good plant wise, and the snails have a massive population. I might start trying to sell these snails since maybe people charge an arm and a leg compared…

How to recharge Purgien?
It’s actually pretty easy, here are some of the steps. The biggest thing is to make sure that you get the bleach out of the Purgien otherwise if you add it back it will kill all of your fish. Remove the bag full of…
Some highly good beginner plants that take in low light (and need really nothing) include; Java fern, Java Moss, Anacharis, Water Wisteria, Anubias, Marino Moss Balls, Hornwort, and lastly Guppy Grass.
African Dwarf Frogs are slightly blind (they mostly go by the smell in the water and their hose and also by the feeling they get from the water movement around them. A lot of times it’s just recommend to either have…
Dependent on what that area that you picked the tank up from, it could be hard water stains (mostly an obvious sign of it disappears when it’s wet or filled with water but appears as it drys out). To get rid of those,…
Sadly, no news yet. The issue isn’t having to do with the app itself, but more of the extension on the forum side (it’s just not up to date as it should be from their end). I’ve created a few different support tickets,…
We’re actually working on some of them now. Sadly, with the time it takes to write them to be detailed enough to be helpful, it can appear as if none are being written. So far we have a good amount up on freshwater,…
That looks just like Brown Diatoms which is common for a ton of reasons. Try reading this article and it should guide you on the fix and resolution on it. Brown Diatoms
It really boils down to a lot of various publications (and studies) done that contradict each other, only show half of the test, or have very inconclusive results. Many who discredit heat say that it only kills it at a…
The yellow color is more than likely from something called “tannins”. This is leached out by the driftwood in the tank, and can also leach out from soil if used in the tank as well. It does not mean that the driftwood…
I’m not too sure that there is a good guide you can read that will help you. Most people try to follow the 2/3 ruling where you have 3/4 of the visual elements on one side, then a gap, and then another 1/4 on the last…
