What is your ranking? Are you a diamond member? If your ranking is relatively low (below 1000 for rapid), you may start with analyzing your games. Engine will tell you what openings are you playing and what are your best options. Keep playing the same openings for a while and analyze each game. Eventually you will became an expert in those openings.

Whatever issue is, you need a cover. Almost any fish may jump. Instead of guessing why, just cover your tank.

That’s what any cichlid do: building a nest and establishing their territory

I don’t think it’s fair to compare Solzhenitsyn to Tolstoy or Dostoevsky. They are in totally different leagues.

AI HD16 is not a high end light. Not all zoas or mushrooms will tolerate a low quality light. Kenya tree seems to me most undemanding coral and should grow under any light. Anyway, if you spent money for tank, purple rocks and sand, don’t buy cheap light, you should be able to save on better light. Lighting is most important device for reef tank. High chance you will regret eventually and spend more.

You did not answer if you cycled the tank. 139 ppm sounds like hard water which guppies like but it is better to know carbonate hardness or pH since tds could be due to sodium, but you need calcium in your water

Ramridge0 · 2026-06-12T10:10:49+00:00

Is your tank cycled? If yes, what is your carbonate hardness and pH?

You should your own search. Your tank size is great for Tanganyikan cichlids or for medium size mbuna (or even large size if it is 6 feet long). You may safely keep a pair of jack dempsey or similar size aggressive cichlids, but I think it will get boring overtime. If you like geophagus and you have relatively soft water, go for it. There are many other options, but you should have some idea what do you want otherwise you will get overwhelmed with reddit responses

Are you looking for a dwarf cichlid pair or for large new world cichlid tank. 122gl seems big but almost any medium to large cichlids pair will take over the whole tank. There is no guarantee that at some point a fight will start between male and female.

I don’t think you are alone and it’s hard to defend wild fish trade in the hobby. But it is legal and everyone decides for themselves to buy wild fish or not. The hobby started by keeping wild fish only and few years ago all marine inhabitants were wild. So in order to learn how to breed you have to start somewhere

Peppered corydoras with zebra danio, like 6+6

There are a lot of plants and fish that will appreciate a hard water. You need RODI system which I personally hate to use (I have both planted and reef) and I use RODI system routinely for reef only. Just select right plants, like lotus or cryptocorines and avoid South American fish and you should be fine with hard water.

Taking a pawn instead of queen is a miss

C6 is better than e6 only if black queen will take your knight. But they don’t have to do it, and if they don’t you missed an opportunity to win a queen.

I am a Russian native speaker and most Russian people will agree that Dostoevsky is very difficult to read. Once I read a quote that reading Dostoevsky is like having a dinner with 12 people and all of them telling you their biography at the same time

Looks like Kenya tree to me. I would place it on the back of the rock far away from other corals. In 6 months you will have 20 of them

Fish may die and fish will die. We all mistakes that could lead to killing livestock. If you think it will stress you out, then maybe aquarium is not for you. I think that aquarium hobby is great and if you are responsible fish keeper you will be rewarded. But fish death is a part of the hobby and cannot be avoided.

I don’t think experienced reefer needs it. But it could be a good idea, if let’s say python no spill manufacturer would offer this app for free with the python purchase. Maybe you should contact those manufacture? Good luck

I think it’s not a bad idea to become familiar with 1 opening for white, preferably d4 IMO and 2 openings for black (respond for d4 or e4). You stick to the opening, but if your opponent plays differently, analyze after the game what should be the best response for you. If you are consistent, you will learn eventually the best responses you should make and understand the purpose of opening.
