What is the schedule that you have set for the lights on your tanks? For me, I have mine to slowly come on around 6:30 AM (right when everyone gets up so the living room lights don’t scare them with shadows) and then…

Almost pulled the trigger on the 120-gallon can't kit set for the turtle tank - but I had to take some measurements since I’d need to rebuild the dry dock I have (as it's far too short length-wise), and I also need to…
Here is a good picture of the level of black beard algae I’m attacking. Ironically it's cleared up from a large portion of the tank (while also turning my plants pretty bare in terms of leaves and whatnot). Otherwise,…
Tank Journals
I tend to just go with those that don’t have fillers for the first few ingredients - but I’ve given my fish mixed brands (and those free samples you get from some tank kits or randomly when you buy combo products). I…
Food and Feeding
Is anyone trying to grab some of the early Black Friday deals a bunch of retailers have or are you waiting for Petsmart/Petco to release their Black Friday ad to see if they will keep the tradition of their tanks and…
When you purchased and installed your canister filter, did you use the included (if there was any included with the purchase) tubing for the canister filter, or did you buy a smaller/larger tubing size to accommodate…

How would you describe how your fish tank water smells when you smell it from above? I'd say it tends to smell like wet wood after it has rained, nothing chemical-like but more earthy-like.

We're starting to see errors being generated from Tapatalk (nothing critical, but it is created degraded with functionality so some features of Tapatalk may show as empty when searching). I've created a support ticket…

I personally prefer Eco-Complete as it tends to be a far more uniform size in comparison to Flourite, although both are basically the same thing just dosed in the bag with a different liquid to provide slightly…
Substrate
As with any chemical, the most efficient form tends to be the form that has the most surface volume exposed to the water. In this case, the answer would be the form where it's smashed the most down inside of a mesh-like…
When dealing with live rock, and sometimes corals from a source that isn't fully trusted, you can end up getting these (small at first) bristle worms that hide away between the rocks/substrate, but will end up eating…

Since everyone always remembers the first few fish they added to their tank, especially when it was their first saltwater tank, what was the first invertebrate you added to your tank, and what made you specifically pick…

What is the ideal gallon ratio from the main display tank, to your sump tank size, that you like to keep? Is there any specific reason that you use this ratio (ex; to have enough buffer room water parameter-wise, in…

I’ve pushed a few updates we had outstanding to the styles (both light and dark) since they appeared to have not taken the major update when we upgraded everything. This has now allowed for the new features to be fully…

I wish you the best of luck with Black Beard Algae, since it seems to be the worst algae to remove due to it being so persistent even when dosing with various chemicals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sadly, I…
Tank Journals
Is this still an issue? I haven’t seen any of these plants at any Petsmart at all even to this day, and curious if they just stopped carrying them due to the bad press. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That is a good…

As always, please let us know if you see anything that is off or missing pages. I've tried to make sure that this transition is painless by replicating as much the new style that we had with the previous but I may have…

I'm unsure on when the current event will end since it was scheduled to end on 10/31/22 but the sale is still being shown online for orders. They did, however, release another week-long sale period which will be…
If you don't want to add any other fish to act as dither fish in a tank, I'd try to replicate the features that the given species has in the wild inside of the tank (a lot of time this just means more rocks/hiding…
Fish
I've done this a few times, but I'd take a few personal steps in order to make sure that everything is cleaned out of it, such as; Wash it with water and vinegar in order to get any dirt, debris, or other items out of…
