I’ve seen that a few times, normally the snail will give up on the hermit crab shell or the hermit crab will change shells if it gets annoyed enough (make sure to have similar shells in the tank near it). Normally you…

Do you just use a singe light fixture or multiple?
Due to how the light can shine into the tank and how it makes any corals or fish inside, do you use a single light fixture or multiple that has different light colorations? This can help make the tank look less overall…

Alternative Soil Substrates
What are some of the alternative soil substrates that you have heard of for planted tanks? I know that commonly, organic gardening soil can be used along with root tabs, or you can purchase online other forms of planted…

Do you use multiple heaters or just a single one?
As the thread states, do you use a single heater (or multiple that are just enough to get the right wattage per gallon of aquarium water), or do you use multiple that can (if a single one went out) keep the wattage well…

Will you add in another tank to your setup in 2023?
Whether it is upgrading your current tank or adding another tank, are you hoping to add a new tank in 2023? Tell us if you are thinking about another tank, and if not, let us know if that could possibly change with a…
A lot of the time when you are adding the substrate to your new marine tank, you can think of using a specific brand or grain size and then once the tank is fully established, it might not look or be what you are…
Since chillers can tend to be rather pricey depending on the unit and manufacture you are looking for, where do you find some of the better-used units that aren't just beaten apart or on their last leg for a good decent…
I believe the filter outlet makes a pretty big difference, not just in terms of the water flow, but also in creating/eliminating dead spots within any aquarium tank shape. For example, the most common two outlet shapes…
I believe just like in freshwater, it really is those species that tend to just grow extremely large or tend to have very specific care requirements (whether that is a dietary requirement for example). I don't have an…
I think the best way to answer those is the following; 1) Make sure that the clam tends to spend as little time as possible in the air, and you place it relatively similar to how it was in the prior tank/setup. 2) I…
End of year 50% off sale started on Tuesday, now's the time to get another tank for those of you who wanted a late Christmas gift!
This would work, although not to the super high standard that a dedicated protein skimmer works (since they mix water around a filter to get it out of the water itself vs. just the surface of the water). Just make sure…
To answer the question in your thread title, the reason why only saltwater fish can live in saltwater is due to them being able to process the salt through their organs/gills. There are some brackish, and very few…
Since snails can pass randomly even when they are fully healthy (just due to old age), how often do you do a snail check to ensure that they have moved (and are alive)? I personally will try to just check on them once a…
As the title states, do you have multiple testing tools or kits available in case you get an extremely odd result when using a refractometer (or something similar that is digital in readout)? How often have you found…
I've done it a few times, but I would first use the biggest spray option or bit for your pressure washer to make sure you aren't throwing rocks around or any hard things that would end up scratching the heck out of the…

What are some of the seagrasses that you have tried to grow?
Have you tried to grow any of the grasses out there, inside of your tanks, and did you have good luck in getting it to take off and grow? I know that many may believe that seagrass, manatee grass, turtle grass, or…

Some of the most interesting critters you have found?
Out of all of them that you have found, either that are within your own tank, or others, what is the craziest critter that you have seen, and what made it so crazy? Yes, this also does include those random hitchhikers…
Looks like they still have some Cyber Monday deals going on (won't be tracked here), I'll be curious if they keep them going the full week or end it after tonight once the website refreshes.
