Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of. I've asked, and the powers to be don't want to add a freshwater subform. I think it may be alright to discuss freshwater tanks in "The Lounge", which is our forum for off-topic discussions.
Check my tank thread if you’re curious!
This is interesting… I don’t see why it would hurt to have a place for freshwater hobbyists to learn as well! Though that’s definitely out of my wheelhouse…
If you have the room for them, golden wonder killifish as well as some of the rainbowfish species are absolutely worth it.
That's what I thought, and I still kind of wish we do, just because Reef2Reef is far more active than any other aquarium forum I've seen. On other forums you have to wait days to weeks to get a reply.
That would be my guess too… It would likely brings a lot of the same repetitive questions into the equation…
I think that's a fairly typical progression in the hobby, especially if you start as a child. Occasionally, we have members that just jump right into reef tanks with no prior experience.
Agreed!
That is very true, there's a ton of bad info out there, and I'm sure it gets too frustrating for many. Plus, if their tank doesn't go well, or crashes and they lose livestock, that can be enough for many.
I've tried there, and didn't get a lot of help

I would think it would be cool for you to do a build thread! Most of us started in freshwater anyway. I stopped freshwater after my beloved childhood goldfish died at 18 or 19 years old. I got a fancy goldfish after that but he died after 5 years and I gave up.
Big news indeed!Well, perhaps we may get a freshwater subforum after all. From Revhtree this morning:
Anyone Knowledgeable In Small Garden Ponds (Freshwater)?
Hey all! Posting here in The Lounge so I don't get kicked off the main forum :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: It's finally just starting to get nice in my area here on Earth1, and while I already have too many projects (aquariums and otherwise) I've been kind of thinking of a small, simple...
I fully agree with that.
I’ve also seen a certain degree of confusion among some reefers with the principles of plant and algae culture, particularly in regard to specifics of biology!
Possibly harder. I had an sps reef years ago it wasn't that much more work than the lps reef I had. Corals grew and looked good. My high tech 125g build was a nightmare of constantly fidgeting with co2 and nutrients. Algae would pop up and there was really not much that would eat it. I had a hefty assortment of snails and shrimp. A lot of the fish that would possibly eat algae would also eat some of the plants. Sps reef had a purple tang, a mimic tang, and a foxface, and a decent cuc with an urchin, no algae would encroach and none of them ate my corals broke a few sure but thats just more frags.
