I’d say acrylic for saltwater tanks since I’m not sure how well silicone will hold up over time, and glass also limits you to how big you can go with weight limits and glass thickness requirements.

How do you all make sure that the glass you are going to drill, is well, drillable? I have looked at a few tanks and there isn’t any single way to see if they are tempered or not which is annoying.

Any tricks or tips to see how I can tell without actually…

I don’t think there is a fish that eats just waste. Snails and shrimp will shift through the waste to find the leftover food, but I don’t think a single thing eats just pure waste outside of bacteria.

Depends on if I want centerpiece fish, coloration, or if I just want a bunch of flashy fish that zip around )schooling ones).

This right here.

Probably is hiding due to low numbers in the school, but as far as adding an air pump check to see if you have waves on the whole surface of the water if you view below. If not, add one in.

Always I can’r stand the space between the trim and the glass if it’s not filled up high enough

Yea plenty of times and 100% did with Gilbert recommended to make them eat the new food. Have even done this with live foods and trying to transfer them to commercial pellets/flakes.

Has anyone here kept anemones? Were they difficult?

For those who started with freshwater and transitioned into saltwater later, what was the hardest part about the transition?

What is the most exotic creature you’ve ever taken care of in your aquarium?

I don’t know. I usually avoid this kind of thing, but I might be paranoid.

I have a generator for exactly this reason. Power cuts are very common where I live.

I live in a rural area that gets a ton of rainfall, so I do this, and it has worked out great.

I've never used one. Did you decide to try it?

(Quote from NoFishBefore)

I have a similar one. It makes for a nice, clean look, and not tacky like the ones with images.

Everything, both for safety reasons and because I only have a few outlets.

Yeah, you need the per-shelf capacity.

Favia corals are my favorites to keep, what about you?

Sometimes I feed my Ricordea, but usually my corals seem to take care of themselves pretty well.

What based on your experiences is the hardest type of fish to keep alive, and what makes it so?
