I’d always recommend to just go for a general idea, and then write it down or use photos online to make a rough draft of how it would look. Then keep rearranging them until you find something that is appealing to your…

I normally tend to fill mine up all of the water. For me, seeing the top of the tank below the trim (unless it’s a rimless tank) is kind of not that lovely (plus it’s wasted space where more water could be to have…

I’d just make sure to observe the fish, coral, or invertebrate you are looking to buy in the tank for like 15mins. I’d also recommend to ask them to turn off the blue lighting if possible since that can hide some…
Getting Started
I’ve always tend to buy them on Amazon, since you can get killer deals without the markup that some stores have to place. The only time I’ve ever gotten a light in a store was due to them having a combo deal on getting…
Lighting
I was wondering why I was having issues connecting to here from Tapatalk - but lovely! Also looks like you guys solved the “liking” issue with Tapatalk too! Thank you for the updates and always trying to provide the…

Since I fed like everyone has different setups, how do you handle the curing and treating of the tank/species? Do you take them out and treat in a separate tank, or do you treat the whole tank dependent on what is it…

Do you let debris collect on the substrate naturally and just let the fish move it around (until it gets to an excessive amount)? Or do you try to keep your substrate layer super clean at all times? I feel like the…

Any new updates?! How big is the turtle now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any idea on the fix for the “Like” on Tapatalk at all? Otherwise no complaints (minus the new marketplace not being supported through Tapatalk). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Announcements
I tend to just use anything that I know will hold the weight, looks good, and is built to last for awhile. I’ve seen plenty of tank stands that aren’t built to last more than 5 years if they get a single drop of water…

Any having issues trying to still return things back? I know when Petsmart swapped to allowing my receipts were expired and I didn’t care to have a gift card loading with cash - but they just have me cash instead ?‍♂️…

100% parameters. Everything requires very specific set of parameters which makes things way more confusing in terms of water changes, etc. TAKE YOUR TIME AND DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING is my pro tip Sent from my iPhone…
General Discussion
I’ve seen this all through Facebook the past few months. Crazy that they spread this accidentally, and makes you wonder if we will now see them in other states or regions from people dumping it all incorrectly. Sent…
Invertebrate
I think it’s more about saving costs now than anything else. Especially when they save on paying for a panel or two of glass and can swap that out for plastic or acrylic on some tank kits. I’ve never seen any type of…
General Discussion
Probably would say African for smaller tanks and American for larger tanks due to their sizes as they mature. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Fish
You mostly want to look for any pure white on them, or for there too be no color (and for some they do not open up even if in the right parameters). Do you have any photos by chance? Does it like smell like how a dead…
Coral
I gave up on this a while back, but I am wondering, did they ever start getting stocked? Super late reply, but yes! Mine has them in stock in low quantities. Might be everywhere now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Invertebrate
I have a friend who has a coral that hasn’t opened up for a week so far, and we’re both worried it’s dead. It still has color on the outside of where it opens up, but not sure if it’s just in a state of shock or if it’s…

What do you use, and how do you specifically make sure that any previous used aquarium equipment (if even used months prior or an hour prior) is safe for your tank(s)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
