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 everyone who has entered successfully!
What type of algae are you having issues with the most? Many algae eaters only eat a specific type of algae (or types) and not every kind, so narrowing it down can help us with some recommendations.
Yes, and they are pretty cool to also look at. You mostly would want to have some sort of macro and micro nutrient elements (such as having soil as the substrate, or by dosing with fertilizers).
This is what a lot of people do when they make tanks that are sealed but allow for light to enter in.
I normally use a mixture of liquid fertilizers, and will also push down root tabs.
When I used a substrate such as Flourite I mostly just overdosed with liquid fertilizers for it to absorb it (while also placing a TON of root tabs underneath it). Then once I noticed my plants start to look a little poor, I would use more liquid fertilizers and then take some root tabs and try to put them underneath the substrate while filled up with water.
Those are eggs from a snail, more specifically mystery (apple) snails that are sold in pet stores. If they are kept moist from the humidity from the tank and not dipped into water/under water, they have a pretty high chance of hatching.
Looks like they have investigated and found nothing wrong. Ironically I also tried to reproduce this again and everything came through correctly.
If you see this again let us know via the contact us form or by making an account this way and syncing it to Tapatalk.
Additionally you just make sure your Tapatalk account is validated before trying to register or it will cause some odd issues that you may have been seeing.
This has been resolved for all platforms (make sure you clear your cache if it doesn’t automatically show the corrections for you).
As a small update they will be looking into this shortly - will keep you updated as I hear more information!
Note: in order for them to validate what is going on, I have turned the in-app registration on (although it WILL error out). If you get stuck on validating, send us a message in the contact us form.
Good catch! I’ll work on fixing the colors on that map since even the blue/grey with the boxes of “Map” and “Satellite” is pretty hard to read as well. I’ll bring it back to the normal coloration it would have by default once I gather all of those color codes for it.
I’ll post updates on here since I get it all sorted out - let me know if you see anything else funky!
I’ve submitted a ticket to Tapatalk since I noticed this too when I tried myself. In the meantime I’ve disable in-app registration until it can be resolved.
Duplicate to the following thread; Tapatalk can't validate user
Yes. I’ve been bitten a few times by fish (most aren’t bad and actually tickle), but the ones that hurt are by turtles (man they snap hard) or bigger fish.
That isn’t bad at all! Sadly I was stuck at other stores and my local Petsmarts all had their Black Friday stock sold out.
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 is done.
I wonder if they will go even further down in price for their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.

Doesn’t look like that they did, but still isn’t a bad deal overall.
Plus it’s the things they did discount for Black Friday, it definitely made getting a tank stand-alone more sense.
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, but normally it’s the awkward sizing that makes it more pricey since it qualifies for bigger shipment costs based on size and weight.
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 levels (mostly done vis substrate or RO water).
It’s not required, but some are really helpful.
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 species of bacteria/virus is different.
When it comes to parasites, they can infect others from saltwater or freshwater.
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 you a few guides and just take your time before buying fish or anything, it’ll save you a ton in the long run.
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 change other items as well (will need to break them apart first).
