Tang Police: Friend or Foe?

 

[revhtree]

Looking for serious ideas?

 

[Arego]

I'm none of the above tbh. Just cover anything that isn't product placement/pushing and I'm good. What seems like advanced to one, like kalk to a newcomer, isn't that advanced at all to someone else. Covering everything can help pros just as much as the next guy or girl.

Cool! Could you provide some specific topics of interest for you?

 

[DracoKat]

DIY ideas. A list of simple things people has buit to save money or is effective.
Or maybe coding for simple frag racks and such for 3D printers to share with others?

 

[Captain Redbeard]

Im very interested in reading more about captive breeding/hybridization of species, specifically Apolemichthys/Centropyge/Chaetodontoplus etc.

 

[Sean Clark]

The truth behind Ozone. Put all of the speculation to rest.

 

[ISpeakForTheSeas]

I agree with Redbeard - I always appreciate more captive breeding info. Personally, I'd like to learn more about the captive breeding of common but maybe under-appreciated species like blennies, gobies, CUC members, etc. - predators like lionfish and triggers too.

 

[ReefGeezer]

I would like to explore newer methods to start reef tanks in depth. Wouldn't it be great if we could all know a way to build a well stocked reef tank in short order without the ugly phase.

 

[NoahLikesFish]

teach people how to captive breed things and talk about sustainable collection, mabye interveiw some people who collect fish to survive

 

[JSully_94]

The general sustainability of the hobby.
Specifically, how the hobby impacts coral reefs, communities, and ultimately us. It’s kind of loaded but I think there are a wide variety of topics that could fall under this. Possible topics could include:
- Aquaculture vs mariculture vs wild collection - which do reefers prefer and why?
- How the hobby creates jobs, locally and internationally
- LFS spotlight - highlighting a different local aquarium store each week. What do each do differently?
- Climate change and it’s impact on the hobby
- Our hobby’s impact on coral reefs
- How can we preserve species through the hobby

I like to consider myself advanced hobbyist but have so much to learn.
id like to learn more on over filtration. Currently I run skimmer and refugium and algae scrubber because that I what I thought I needed to lower nutrients. But in the end am I stripping more then I should be as far as everything else then nitrates and phosphates.

Can we talk about Vibrant? No, just kidding.

Coral. I would like to discuss coral, coral decline and how to reverse its decline. I have lost several pieces that I wish I would of been able to save. Once they start to go it hard to turn them around. I have saved a few that were heading south but... I had a piece that did well for almost a year and then died in a few weeks. There is a lot of knowledge here. I like keeping corals and don't like losing them.

 

[G Santana]

Specifically, what do long term successful reefers do to maintain their systems.
Equipment
Dosing regimens
Maintenance
Water parameters etc...

 

[New&no clue]

I would consider myself a beginner. A simple chemistry breakdown. I know that Alk and Calcium play off each other and Nitrates of Phosphates... but I don't fully understand it. I dose 2-part, I have a refugium, but I would still like to understand more.

 

[jcolliii]

Advanced.

Price gouging, overpricing, and profiteering off of novices. Prices are runaway, and I feel like a lot of 'hobbyists' are in it for the wrong reason and are doing nothing but perpetuating the ever-increasing price tag of this hobby. I'd like to see a max limit put on frags on this site too. No frag for more than $100, period. Want to try and make a profit? Open a storefront or go to ebay.

 

[Sean Clark]

How about a spotlight on successful longterm reef tanks on a budget. Showing people that they can have success using quality low cost methods and equipment. This could even include low cost livestock. Not every acro needs to wreck homes.

 

[jcolliii]

I like that idea. And maybe featuring one of those as a TOTM every once and awhile.

Sean I like this a lot - perhaps showing/featuring tanks that break the "norm". Exploring alternative ways to reef keeping etc. I.E not every tank needs a skimmer to be successful etc. Lower tech items that are/can be successful or useful, items that are often pushed onto newer people that aren't necessary
