edit, the new #1 spot is keeping fish at all in boxes when they could be swimming around the ocean. tough to rectify. have at it.
post #41 I thought called it accurately.





1 formerly now #2. the golden spot: Fish quarantine and fallow yes / no
the eternal battle between someone's home reef and what we can align 200 others reefs to do. what are zoos doing/the big picture. That's #1, and nothing's a hotter topic than what new reefkeepers should be doing or not doing to lower the incidence of disease wipeout in half a year.

2/3. Does my reef fail to control ammonia after a cycle?
-second most hottest topic in reefing, relationships destroyed over the matter as duels erupt. everyone cares about helping is the fascinating driver- its not a bunch of passives involved in the troubleshooting posts. Bad cycle calls produce dead reefs, this is simply a flammable subject online. Decades of reef cycle training are coming to a head and being tested in pattern threads, with new meters...evolution front seat. what nh3 does in a reef tank might easily be #1 in someone's chem forum.

3. those are the only two I care about what's your additions to this list. peroxide used to be on the list but we've hammered it home now its common as saltwater in the hobby.

if someone has a better one for top spot let's see the battle scar links.
 
past and prior hot buttons:

once at reefcentral a thread discussing whether you should pinch a puffer to make it swell up was popcorn for one hundred pages and can probably be found, shared and linked here for hilarity given a few mins mashing buttons on google.
 
agreed on stray voltage. I forget about that real risk in every single troubleshooting thread.
 
This has the potential to be a really, really good thread and this has the potential to be a really, really bad thread. Please keep it positive!

I have been accused validly of using the alert badge to prewarn everyone they're not using seneye for ammonia alert posts/guilt

the breadcrumb trail:

the direct takeaway is that if someone is about to post an ammonia alert help thread they do not own a tuned and benchmarked seneye, right off the bat.
