QUESTIONS! QUESTIONS! QUESTIONS!

But we LOVE questions around here, because we love to teach, we love to learn and we love to make people more successful in keeping saltwater reef tanks.

So I have a question about questions for you!

What do you think are the TOP QUESTIONS people ask when it comes to reef tanks?

“What can I stock in this tank?” - Not usually worded this way but instead in the most complicated way possible. I think we should have a challenge to see the simplest and also most complicated ways to ask this question.

Also, never an FTS or idea of dimensions, usually just;
My tank has 5 fish, what else can I add?

"My aquarium is 48 days old and i am looking to add livestock, can I have a triggerfish? What species of fish can go in this tank that happens to be compatible with (list of 3 different fish that cannot be housed together)"

Hi, I'm going to start up a tank. Could you possibly tell me every single thing I might potentially need to know about lighting, PAR, sumps, refugiums, macro algae, ATOs, heaters, flow, substrate, CUC, inverts, live rock, corals, and fish? Thanks in advance!

Is this normal behavior for a clown or why is my clown acting like this?

if you're creating a list to post of all these typical first time questions, the acronym list would be great to post there as well.
