Thanks! I’m looking for someone - ideally local - but don’t know the community there yet. Was hoping a former WAMAS member may have moved down there. Charleston is a fabulous city!

Thank you for your questions. Could go the custom route, however for a 60-80G cube my display space is very flexible. Would come down to cost and benefits. I want to keep relatively basic animals in the mixed reef. Currently, have an anemone that is host to a clownfish pair, a barnacle blenny, a snapping shrimp and goby pair, a red cleaner shrimp, tons of mushrooms and zoa, most recent additions of a plate coral and hammer have grown well for just a little over a year. However, I couldn’t keep Montipora. I do not have a sump and never had one. I have a lot of live rock and a canister filter and a hob protein skimmer. This set up has been restricted because I live in a coop - where space is a limited. I *think* I should have a sump on the new set up and this is where I start to get lost. I plan to have a small enclosed space behind the tank for the outlets and an R/O system. I will have a lot of space under the display tank. As this is my retirement home, looking to spend a little on ease of maintenance. I love putting my hands in the tank but my back prefers I not lug water buckets.

Building a house near Charleston, SC and need help designing a small but dedicated space for a 60-80g tank. Always had a tank, but seems to me the hobby has evolved way faster than I. Been in the hobby for over 20 years (with the same Oceanic cube) - but man, things have changed and my tank has been running fine so it hasn’t - other than the new kessils. So looking for someone to help me modernize and design the new space and tank in SC. Hope this request isn’t too random - any recommendations from WAMAS members are appreciated!

Thanks epleeds! Plan to pick up my new BTA this weekend ?

Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy a BTA? I’m in DC so assuming I’ll have to find an online vendor. I’ve succumbed to the yearning to have a host anemone for ORA false percula.

Hi WAMAS! Here is my little 40 gallon - clearly I need to find the topic on taking better tank pics with the iPhone... It’s a little light on fish right now - just a watchman goby. Main focus is on helping a small bleached anemone recover. Once he does planning on getting a pair of clownfish. I do have an abundance of plate coral - two of them are making babies. So I guess I should find the section where folks transact trades...
