Hey , I would like to create a thread for my aquarium.
I would like also to be able to edit it and keep people from commenting it until it's done (maybe keep it secret)
Where should I start it ?

That particular aquarium is now filled with phosphorescent tetras and no longer exist as on the picture.
I can't even edit/delete except way to far away while posting it further down the thread.
I find that very bad to keep an aquarium profile up to date.

Ah...just open up a new build thread with a new name. You can just add a comment to current build thread stating your closing this and opening up new (add the link if you like) because you're making major changes.

A lot of people start one way and decide to go another. It's part of the hobby and sharing why you did that is nice for others to see.

After you post, you can edit your post by clicking the dropdown arrow at the bottom of your post.
The way I do it is if there is a typo, I just make the correction. If there is a significant edit, then at bottom of post, I type "edit: ....." so readers know what the change is.

It's only good for a said amount of time, after that, it's not possible to change it.

Oh.... didnt know that. Lol. Only tried editing immediately after posting. Never tried to edit an old post. Sorry, I'm no use. Lol.
Btw, I'm curious too as to your questions.. I'll be starting my build thread in a month or two.

IMO I don't think a lot of people are worried about the spelling as long as it can be read (at least for me I don't care). However, unlimited editing is one of the benefits of being a supporting member. Either way, we'd like to see what you are working on now! :)

Right now I have plenty of info I could post online , but I wont becose I will wait until everything is done ...
Little trick , the images added in 'media' content have a better definition than the ones directly added on a post.

I saw someone's signature say something along the lines of "I reserve the right to edit posts at will to correct spelling and grammar errors". I just assume that's my inherent right...but yeah...if I change meaning I put a note on why I edit. And the more I do this, the more I have to go back and edit. People can't learn from my mistakes if I don't tell them. :)

Editing...lol. Look at my build on the first post - had to one line that recently. I always like to one line through if I change strategy. Let's people know what I was thinking before I changed it.

Yeah..got a few corals I need to strike through as well...sadly. Here's something you should never do. Make a list of all the corals you bought, then see how many didn't make it and add up the money.

My wife could use that list against me as well
