Yay!? ?

Works great! Thanks.

The main website for WAMAS is not working when googled. It works when I click on the "Forums" link instead of the homepage.

Maybe the new update? It's total volume is 135 (include sump). I hope so. It's a pain to get everything set-up. At one point, I wanted to put it back in the box and send it back. :) I experimented with the skimmer and it was not affecting the production of bubbles. The sump level was above the top of the pump. I did play with the level to see if it had any affect, but nothing. Red Sea suggested that there might be some trapped bubbles in the system and can take some time. She said to let it run for about a week and if that doesn't work to call them back. Apparently this happens often with their system?

Tank came yesterday. Let's just say that this is the worst tank to put together EVER! I would rather put together a house full of Ikea furniture. ? I is all set up (I think) and can't seem to get the main pump to stop spitting out little bubbles. Hopefully Red Sea and resolve this issue.

Thank you guys!

The rocks have been cycling in a tub for about 2 months now waiting on the new tank. I'm just using a Dr. Tims product. Equipment and others for the big tank: 2 x MP40 2 x 200 Watt Cobalt Thermometer 2 x Marine Pure 4 x 20lb sand

Hello! Thank you for supporting our WAMAS club and your gift card donation. Much appreciated! V/R L. Nguyen

I just want to say THANK YOU to gws3. I won some rock flower anemones from you at the fall meeting. They are beautiful and are doing well. Sorry my phone camera does not take very good picture. Again, thank you.

Just saw your post last month. Is everything better now?

Beautiful reef!!! Hope to have half the success you do someday.

After listening to the talk yesterday, I might have to consider moving my mandarins to the big tank. However, I am not sure if this is a good idea. The inhabitants of the anemone tank are very peaceful and slow eater and has been perfect for me target feeding my mandarins. I got quite lucky with the mandarin pair. I made sure they at least eat live mysis shrimp at the fish store. I started hatching live brine shrimp at home and target feed with frozen rod's food. Within the week both started eating frozen brine and rod's food. I continue to culture copepods and phyto as a supplement to my tanks to make sure they stay healthy. What do you guys think? Should I move my mandarins?

Thanks! That is a valentini. We named him/her Val. He is actually a very fun fish to have. I actually can pet him during feeding. It was actually very hard to try and get a cleaning crew because of this guy. Had to stick with turbo snails and emerald crabs. He snacks on SPS corals which was not a big deal since we plan to only have soft corals.

I don't want to disappoint Alan... As many of you guys know, I am very new to this hobby. I have always wanted to start a saltwater fish tank, but with both my spouse and I being dual military for many years, it was just not feasible for us to start one. We made it work for our many dogs, but fish was a whole new level of care. These are our puppers... aren't they so cute??? Kylie, Cauchy (If you recognize this name...you must love Math), & Dante We finally left the service a couple of years ago and moved to Maryland for work. Our recent purchase of a home made it possible for us to start our "FISH ROOM". The first tank to go in of course was a freshwater tank ... just getting our feet wet. Our second one is a 65 gallon (not plumb for reefing). I really did not like the way this tank look and was quite disappointed in myself for not doing enough research. I have a picture of when started. Everything is broken down to bare minimum now for the upgrade. Still regretting those dang cardinals... I will get rid of them someday! After much research I realized that I wanted a Red Sea Tank. I am not a plumber or am I particularly good at fixing things and the Red Sea tanks are just perfect for me. Of course the price definitely made me cry. My solution? I got a second "job"! After about a month, I got the Red Sea Max E-170. This tank is stocked with mostly what my husband wants (need to make him happy for the "bigger" tank). We dedicated this mainly to anemones and soft corals (He likes to see things "move"). He picked out most of the fishes and I added the mandarins. I recently ordered a Red Sea S500 and can't wait to actually get it (a second time). Unfortunately, the first one came and I found a crack in it and had to return it. More to come!!! Thank you to everyone who has helped me with all my questions. Thank you to all who sold me corals and anemones. I just love this hobby. oh, I will go back to just 1 job soon.

Welcome!!! You are just in time for the Fall Meeting tomorrow!

I think it is awesome what you are doing for the kids! I wish one of my teachers would have done the same. I have a new Salifert Magnesium Test and a new Aquariclip (for the kids to take pics of their tanks) that I'll throw in also if you are able to come up and grab them.

Hello, I have a sand sifting starfish and possibly two yellow tail damsel for you guys. Just let me know. I'm in Glen Burnie. FYI: the damsels can get quite aggressive but very hardy fish. Also, I have a hand held refractometer if you need one.

Maybe these...sphaeromatid

Awesome thanks! Do the tanks have to be near each other or the unit works wireless with all components?

Can one apex main unit control multiple tanks?

I have bot the diamond goby and the sand sifting starfish. I personally do not think the starfish does much to "sift" the sand. The diamond goby is probably the best thing ever. You just can't put any corals on the sand since they tend to make mounds of sand at certain spot. He does keep the sand really clean. My diamond goby eats frozen and pellets so I don't think they absolutely need "critters" in the sand. I made sure he ate frozen at the store before I brought him home. There is literally no area in the tank that he does not go through and clean.

I NEED ADVICE: If I plan to transfer half of my rocks and all the Marine Pure brick over to the new tank from the old one, can I transfer all the fish over at once? I also have rocks (been cycling in a tub for 3 weeks) to add to the new tank. Please advise...any help appreciated! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Beautiful fish!

What do you guys think of this company? Their phyto can be frozen and last for a while. From Canada. https://copepods.com/

Thank you! I'm excited to try. What is your recommendation?
