Gonna be adding more subjects to our FAQs page

So fire away withh your ideas and if you know a particular fishy fact quite well, feel free to write it up for us

Thanks

 I have spent several hours reading old posts,but one of the things I havn't gotten to is the faq's.Not knowing what questions are already there,I would say-answers about filtration would be way up there, diatome vs. charcoal etc. What brands people have used,have them rated as to ease of set-up & use,functionality,noise level and so on.It seems to be the question most asked from what I've read so far.(if you have this covered already.....ooops,sorry.)

Here's the FAQs link again for the people who haven't been there yet: http://www.worldcichlids.com/faqs/faqindex.html.

I think filtration sounds like a very good idea  Unfortunately, I'm lost when it comes to tank hardware :-[

Oscars are covered well at least

How about algae control?  There are a lot of chemicals to control algae that probably aren't so good.  And there are a lot of natural ways to control it which are better.  Like -- Plants, algae eating fish, daphnia (daphnia may not be so common, but it worked for me), less lighting, less food....

I'm not sure if this would be a FAQ, but I'd be interesting in being able to read reviews of various equipment like filters and heaters.  For example, I've been thinking of getting a Fluval 404 for my 75 gal... I'd like to know what others thought of this filter. They're not cheap!

Anyway, that's my .02 worth!

What about a general article on tank maintenance. I think a lot of people starting out in the hobby don't have this basic info.
              Water changes,cleaning the filters,test kits ect..

  Just a few thoughts

Good ideas there..
I think the reveiws of tank hardware would warrant another section other than FAQs. I know a couple of people who have written reviews on some filters. I might track them down.

The tank maintainence is a very good idea and I think we will definatly do that one as a Faq.

Controlling algea is also a good idea and I might put it in with the tank maintanence
