Retro Reefer August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 Hi everyone, new member here but I have been reefing for about 34 years and had saltwater fish tanks well before that.. I had attended one of the very first WAMAS meetings years ago but didn’t join because I was already heavily involved in other clubs at the time. Now that I’m retired I thought it would be nice to have a network of local like minded people to share my passion for reefing with.. for the last several years I have just had a few small Nanos / Picos running but I’m currently setting up a 40 breeder with hybrid t5/LED lighting and all DC operated equipment except for my heater.

KingOfAll_Tyrants August 14, 2018 Share August 14, 2018 RR, welcome to WAMAS! How did you drill/plumb the 40B to your sump? I ask because I'm thinking of doing the same thing, if I don't get approval for a custom tank. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
