FENCE STRENGTH HELP   by Blue Fang

Some fences are stronger and last longer than others. Fences that are best able to resist bashing by animals, listed from strongest to weakest, are: electrified iron bars, electrified chain-link, reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete & iron bars, reinforced concrete & glass, concrete, bar, rock, chain, glass, post/rail, wood, stick, and chainlink fence types. Fences also wear out over time. The fence types that last the longest, listed from most durable to least durable, are: electrified iron bars, electrified chain-link, reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete & iron bars, reinforced concrete & glass, concrete, iron bar, chain-link, glass, rail, stick, bar, rock, and wood. It's important to note that the larger the fence, the sooner it will wear out. So, a tall chain fence won't last as long as a short chain fence, for example. Use maintenance workers to repair fences or replace fence segments yourself.

Note: The electrified fences are dangerous to guests. Don't electrocute your own guests!

FILTER HELP by Blue Fang

Tank filters are a handy alternative to having marine specialists clean tank water, but filters have a monthly upkeep fee and require periodic service from maintenance workers. To function correctly, a tank filter must to be placed directly adjacent to an exhibit tank or a show tank outside of the wall.
