I agree, I have seen many people build them from wood purchased at Home Depot - but I’d be afraid that if it's not perfectly balanced or if I didn’t have enough structural support where it would randomly collapse in the…
Yeah, there are real ones from companies that will sell you the tank and equipment, and even let you purchase the jellyfish from them as well (I have no idea how they do shipping to avoid them arriving dead on arrival).…
Check a valve that you can manually adjust to lower the airflow into the tubing. Otherwise, try to find an adjustable air pump (although in all reality, the valve should be easy to get on Amazon in a slightly bulk…
Do you think that the social pressures of others who may view your tank come into effect as well? Or do you just go with your gut and own instincts when getting it all set up based on your original thought/idea(s)? Sent…

How long has it taken for your driftwood to sink?
If you have ever purchased driftwood from a store that isn’t in water, you'll notice it always tends to float. How long did it take for your piece of driftwood to sink (and did you boil it, or weigh/tie it down to…

How often do you reseal your tanks?
How frequently do you redo the seals on your tank, and do you do yourself or do you take the tank (or have someone come over) to do the job? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jellyfish tanks on the rise?
I keep seeing ads on Facebook and other outlets about these new jellyfish tank kits, that include a circular tank (with filter and water pump to keep the movement going), a water treatment kit to turn regular water into…

Getting timid fish more social?
What is your go to method in order to get timid fish more social and active in the tank? I know the most common method is the use of dither fish, but do you have any special aspects that you use or create to make them…

Fluorite over Eco-Complete?
Out of the two most commonly used planted tank substrates, which one do you use and why? Does one have more pros or cons compared to the other, and what makes your decision final on which one to go with? Sent from my…

Carbon crushed or in crystal/cube forms?
Since there are different forms of carbon, whether it be in a bag crushed up into a powder like format or in a cube/crystal form, what is your preferred method for placing carbon into your filter(s)? Sent from my iPhone…
Wonder if that will be the new normal in order to clear out older inventory (especially with the looming recession occurring in the US due to super high inflation). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Smaller fish that can’t be food for the shrimp, but also fish that aren’t aggressive such as cichlids or those that would view shrimp and smaller creatures as food in the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's kinda cool to see a fish change colors either due to environmental reasons or due to maturing. I think my favorite is probably a fish changing due to mating reasons as the shift can be drastic. Sent from my iPhone…
Do you know if those of us using Tapatalk will still gain Coins or the levels that you discuss? The only reason being is that I’m unable to see it through the app specifically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There are light tints you can use (similar to what they use for a flashlight), just make sure that whatever light fixture you have the film can stand up to it. I’d even say a plastic wrap for cooking but if you have any…
Pool filter can vary from color to color ironically, I’ve had some bags almost pure white and others white with other specks of sand that are grey/brown/black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good list, I'd probably do 3M 6F for the cherry barbs (the males really stun with their coloration). If you aren’t worried about breeding, I’d even suggest your original 4M 5F or split more makes than females due to…
Thanks for the follow up, that is what I has thought when they removed it all so suddenly without any PR statements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’d say that it honestly has to do with the equipment needing to be able to handle salt, which in itself is a highly corrosive mineral that would cause for freshwater equipment to fail (seals to go out, metal parts to…
Newts are rough to have tank mates since they are either slow or tend to be super sensitive to other species around them. I’d honestly just have them as a species-only tank since they are unique enough to keep without…
