It depends on the plant, some you can tie with fishing line or if you want you can use like gorilla glue (or any aquarium/water safe superglue). Others need and like to be planted into the substrate, and some like to…

Ethics on purchasing small aquariums?
I was thinking about purchasing some for the small aquariums that stores sell (those ones less than a gallon of water) for some plants and decorations to be kept inside - but curious on if this makes sense ethically as…

What is the most common type of algae?
Since saltwater tanks cause many different types of algae, what are some of the most common types of algae that is found? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Since we tend to see a lot of tanks still in their current running state sold online - when you are given the fish without a choice, do you give them away to a store or keep them if they fit the setup’s requirements?…

Purchased a used tank and had a white haze to it
So I normally don’t purchase used tanks due to always needing to either reseal them, or the trim being damaged, or heavy scratches on the glass - but, I couldn’t pass up this cheap tank. The only problem I have is that…
Have you by chance heard anything back yet? Still seems to be an issue even on the beta version of Tapatalk - thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don’t really think of that when purchasing them...but that is a good point. I guess for saltwater fish a lot of them are still taken from the wild vs. being bred in house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good brands of fish food
I mostly just use Omega One when possible or Fluval since they appear to have a new “Bug Bites” brand that is pretty healthy. Just avoid the foods that have the fillers listed as the first like 3-4 ingredients since…

What are your feelings on GloFish?
It seems that I always read online that people think that the GloFish are injected with dyes and not genetically bred - but people also get mad that they are playing with genes and think it’s extremely harmful for the…
I 100% agree with this. Those tiny tanks, or tanks that are shaped like into a teddy bear or so need to stop being sold. Thank you for sharing this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I tend to use mostly all LEDs due to their extremely low cost to run, long lifespan, and overall nice appearance (sleek vs. being bigger since it has to hold and hide a tube). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sweet thank you! Not sure why every single place said something totally different, or was noted it could be due to sap leaking from the wood or other bad things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would avoid this due to what Avery said, a lot of rainwater has acid in it due to the pollution from everyday life (vehicles, buildings, things burning, etc.). So it’s not so much of a good idea unless you live…

Mold/White Algae on Driftwood?
Posting for a friend, since we both can’t figure out why his tank has all of his new driftwood covered in this white algae or mold. No fish are in there, and it’s currently cycling, but it almost feels like slime but a…

What do you guys use for cooling a hot aquarium water with?
I know that an aquarium chiller isn’t really too widely used for common freshwater tanks, so what do you guys do when the weather gets pretty warm and the tank goes above 80 degrees or even higher during summer months?…

Has anyone tried or even thought of buying these cubes?
I’m sure that you have seen the tons of videos shared online of this Carbon like cube, getting dropped into a tank and bubbling like crazy. Once it does that, then the tank appears magically crystal clear moments later…
I probably would say that I tend to test my water parameters once a month (unless keeping a very sensitive fish species such as Discus or so). Otherwise I would only test it if I noticed that something was off with some…

What diseases do you always seem to run into?
Since there are an almost endless amount of different types of diseases, what are some of the most common ones that you tend to see and/or are common caught having to treat and deal with? Sent from my iPhone using…
I used to stick to name brand equipment, but I honestly find that some off brand equipment can be almost the same quality while being like over half the cost (and even if it breaks after a few years I still save since…
I kinda of like the smaller ones since with a ton of them it can look more or less like a reef in itself vs. a few big ones that can just take over the tank as a whole. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
