Saltwater Starter Kits
Are there any saltwater starter kits that make actual sense, and come with equipment that is an overall good value? I’ve seen a ton of freshwater tank kits but it seems hard to find saltwater tank kits for whatever…

What test kits do you use to test your water with?
With the huge variety of testing kits, ranging from different aspects or ways they test (liquid, paper, etc.) which ones do you use and why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fiddler Crabs
Do any of you own any fiddler crabs, and if so, what is your setup for them? I’m debating on getting some but can’t think of a good mixed land/water setup, especially one that fits their requirement for some salt in the…

Breeders stock illnesses
Has anyone noticed that in some stores the breeders appear to be running low on stock on common (and some uncommon) species now? I also notice that there are a ton of fish that seem to be pretty sick or have some type…
Looks like they just changed the ads and wording to be the “50% off sale” - not sure if we will see this progress after this sale date or not, but something to be aware of in case you walk in and don’t see the normal…
With the increase in sales, availability, and species that are falling under the GloFish umbrella - do you think that they will ever expand into saltwater fish at all? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Although I can’t see the theme difference since I’m using the app, I appreciate the changes and the aspects moving forward! Thank you for working to make this community better over time (one day it’ll take off)! Sent…

Root tabs vs. liquid fertilizers?
Which one do you use and why? Do you normally use liquid more frequently the longer it has been since you have placed root tabs, or do you dose both and then push down more root tabs after a year or two when they are…

How are you holding up in Texas after the power outages?
With the huge power outages for a week plus for many in Texas, how are you all holding up? Were you able to find a way to keep your fish tanks from freezing over, or did they not make it sadly? Sent from my iPhone using…

What’s up with the false information spread on social media for cures that work or don’t?
I’m not sure if any of you guys are on any Facebook groups, but I’ve seen a TON of false information being spread when it comes to what cures work and don’t for specific diseases. For example I’m seeing a trend of…
Probably the worst thing for me was a heater malfunctioning and basically shocking or overheating my fish while I was sleeping. Definitely not a fun time getting them all out while also getting shocked slightly until I…

When do you think conferences or events will come back?
It seems like every few weeks, there are more and more fish related hobby events that are cancelled due to COVID and the restrictions set in place. I know smaller, local club events are somewhat still going on (although…

Have you had fish spawn by themselves?
Have you ever had any of your marine fish spawn without you prepping them via feeding more nutrient rich food, and setting water temperature and other aspects? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’d probably say 2-3” max, unless if I had any type of burying fish or invertebrates and then I may make it anywhere from 3-5” just have it at an odd gradient throughout the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you ship out fish to buyers elsewhere?
What methods do you use such as the type of bags, heating/cooling pads, and medicine to ensure that the fish get there all alive without any dead across the US (or even into other countries)? Sent from my iPhone using…
I personally keep my filters, heaters, and lights on a power surge protector so in case something happened they would be safe. Do you keep everything on there, or just some items? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you set a budget before buying everything?
Do you create a budget to see what you can afford equipment, fish, coral, etc. wise or did you just go in and see what fit and felt like it would match the design/look you were going for? Sent from my iPhone using…

Do you build your stands?
Do any of you build your own tank stands, and if so what do you use to make sure that they can handle the weight of a fully loaded aquarium + extra? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
