Darren, I told my wife it would be an insurance policy.... matt

Hello WAMAS! Believe it or not, my 180 is hitting 10 years, and I've been in the hobby for 11 years this summer! So, my question is.....how long do things last? My 180 mixed reef glass aquarium with wooden stand are both 10 years with me and ??? years with the original owner. How long can the wood stand last? How long will the silicon seams last on the glass? The eheim jager heaters are 5 years old. How long will they last? Anything else I should worry about? The T5 lights keep getting repaired! I can replace the T5 end caps to keep it running bright!!! Thanks for the feedback!!!! Matt

My skimmer goes nuts whenever my leather toadstools molt. Every time. My tank is mostly leathers so my skimmer is mostly offline. Haha

Again, I thank you for helping me program my Apex almost 8 years ago !!!!

Hey Ryan, Good hearing from you again! I see a MAJOR problem with this plan........ you have a long wall. Go 180 or bigger and go across the LONG face of the wall! Matt

I need salt too! How do they big group buys on IO get started? Thanks Matt

Looking great. What are the dimensions?

Hey everyone, I've been using TLF C-Balance for 10 years. The price is now $50 for the gallon size. With DFS gone, my ability to super coupon is also gone. Should I switch to B-Ionic or BRS 2-Part? What should I do different when switching? Change is hard.... thanks for your input!!! Matt

Maybe something like this https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163856389091 Thanks Matt

How did the Bristle warm trap turn out? Any luck finding a design for a mushroom trap/Acclimator/box? thanks Matt

This is awesome! I’ve been looking for a mushroom box, bristle worm trap, and pod condo. Where’s a good place to look for designs? I heard there’s a couple repos out there. Are you able to print with one of the reef safe plastics? Thanks Matt

Cleared inbox... please try again.

I’d like to place an order. Are you hearing good or bad things about them?

Love my avast probe holder.

I can put the frag return pump in the middle sump chamber and have a 6’ distance to the tank.

I currently have a 180 dual return and dual retain going to a trigger systems sump. My sump has an extra input for a drain - so I want to add a small 29 frag tank to my system. I need some advice how to best do the plumbing. I’m planning to drill the 29 with a 3/4” return and 1” drain. Can I use flex hose for both or should I hard plumb with pvc? How big of a return pump should I plan for the frag tank? The frag tank will have power heads. I want to be mindful of any potential problems. What advice do you all have? What am I forgetting? What can I improve? I’d like to plan ahead and avoid any potential problems. Thanks Matt

I saw this tank last week. It’s amazing how HUGE the tank looks! I also have a 180, but there’s so much more space with the external overflow. Matt

Please tell more about the buttons!

How did you heal the blown jelly? Thanks Matt

Made an order on Friday for $42 a box since they’re going out of business and I had a gift card to burn. They gave me a $20 refund for price match. I’ll miss DFS!!!!! Their customer service is second to none !!!

Glad it worked!!!

Anyone know where to find ATI T5 light bulbs on sale this weekend? I need to buy 12! Thanks in advance!!!

Hi everyone, I just changed my Amazon smile to Wamas. Perhaps you might consider adding WAMAS the name tile... WAMAS - The Washington DC Area Marine Aquatic Society I searched for Wamas in the charity options, but nothing came up without searching the formal name. Matt

Awesome location! Following along!

Where did you find the anthia?
