filter in a bucket?
They have them in a bucket in case they leak, which is only helpful for a short period. I’d always advise watching the canister filter for a few minutes after you put it together (the first time, or when you clean it).…

General compatiblity matrix
From all of the matrixes shown online that show fish species and when they are compatible, do you think that they are helpful or not so much help? If helpful, do you think there should be one here as well shared with…
I feel like many people don’t put too much effort into checking freshwater plants for the water temperature unless the plant is melting (due to high or cold heat) as they do with corals for saltwater tanks. Sent from my…
I know that every few months we (researchers) tend to find new species that are living in either closed-off environments or those that are living in the deep sea that we have yet to completely explore (more of the new…

Need little adviced
I would agree with everyone here, I would advise against that since they require completely different water parameters. And to one other member’s point, what did you end up doing in terms of tank mates for the given…

Opinions on best fish food?
I wondered what everyone’s favorite fish food is, and why you use it. Did you try others or did you just go with what you read was good, or that came with your tank when you bought it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you add padding to make your air pump quiet?
What do you do to make sure that the air pump you have is quiet? Do you add any additional padding underneath? Or do you have it hidden away somewhere that makes the sound less noticeable? Sent from my iPhone using…

Filter outlet options make any difference?
This is a rather odd subject, but I've been wondering if the outlets on the canister filters make much of a difference in the tank. I'm just curious as to what everyone's opinions and preferences are regarding the…

Seeding dry rock with live rock
How were you able to complete the seeding process, and did you have any special method you used (ex; placing live rock around dry rock, mixing them together), did you do this in a smaller tank/bucket (to make it happen…

Adding tannins to a saltwater tank?
Would there be any additional benefits when it comes to adding in tannins to a saltwater tank? I know that in freshwater, it would lower the pH slightly and also make the water less hard overall, but not sure if that…

Using a HOB with a skimmer piece as a protein skimmer?
Can you use those HOB filters or even canister filters that have that skimmer optional pieces as a protein skimmer? Is there any retrofit like adding a sponge cut inside of the skimmer part to soak up the protein in?…
Since we normally stock community tanks that tend to have a bunch of species all over the place, and that require many different temperature zones, how often are all of your species within their ideal temperature in…

Too much filtration?
Have you ever thought about adding any more filters to your tank but are worried about having too many filters? When do you think a tank has too much filtration (media wise, as water current created, can be told if the…

Do you use carbon in your aquarium?
Since many filters come with bags of carbon (that do have a limited lifespan before everything that they soak up is released again), do you use carbon in your tank and if so, how frequently do you replace the carbon to…
