Is there any reason why everyone always recommends keeping a canister filter within a bucket or tote? reading the manual or online says that it's not required or even recommended but I keep seeing on groups that they recommend it.

I got some medium/large sized rocks from the beach last year im wondering if i boil them can i use them in my new tank?

Wow what a change when I first came back, the dark theme looks good though! Appreciate the updates to keep things going since so many other communities just stick to what works and won’t update anything else!

Aha I agree! So much more clean and colorful when it comes to icons. Will take getting some used to but no complaints!

Is there anyway to make these bubbles smaller? Or do I need to do buy another air pump or air stone (and if so, what air stone brand or type makes those really small bubbles that aren’t like a huge wave of them)?

Do I need to look or treat used substrate any differently (if buying a tank off of like craigslist that is used and it came with the substrate already)? How would one wash it but still have it aquarium/fish safe?

Can I get some recommendations on what automatic food feeders you all use if you are going out of town for 2 weeks or slightly longer?

Thank you for providing this!

Are these actually real? I always thought that they were the fake ones with plastic jellyfish in the end. Do you have a link to some of them that you have seen?

I mostly just use whatever came with my filter, and use the same brand as replacements since I know they fit.

Pool filter sand seems like a steal, $7 for a 50lb bag. Any ideas on what brand of pool filter is better or are they all basically the same?

I’ve seen these at some local stores and they really seem cool but pricey. Curious on if they make the fish have a more natural behavior compared to just the regular lighting being the same every day?

Thank you all! I’ll try to pick one off and get a closer photo. In the tank are a bunch of snails and other fish so it could be either from my understanding.

I was going to take this wood out of this tank to use in mine but I'm not sure if I should..are these snail eggs or fish eggs or just random bumps in the wood?

Do you want to keep any algae growing in this alive? Or do you want to ideally keep it tamed down where it's growing but not like endlessly growing (does that make sense)?

I was actually going to use Mollies as my first fish for my saltwater tank, since they are cheap and will help me learn through the whole hobby.

Are these worth it inside of saltwater tanks as they are in freshwater tanks? Does it really catch that many particles from algae to parasites, or is it more harming since some algae and particles are healthy for live rocks and corals (in the future)?
