Thank you for the great products! It'd be interesting too if in the future you may produce larger mat that could go on the back wall with multiple frag holders that's more flat against the back. 😉

@@InappropriateReefer while the 5 hole only has one magnet we can insert two into it however the 10 holed branch has two internal and is a larger footprint

Thank you! Good to be back once in awhile

Thank you! 😎

Glad you find this useful! Hopefully this helps a bit in your implementation!

She said " maybe just one part" I died laughing

Solid advice, thank you Nathan!

Sorry man! I think it was around 2am, my son woke me up and just then I saw a new post on WAMAS... 😝

Thanks!!

Looking into them, thanks for the recommendations!

Must have been tough letting go of such an old clam!

@@InappropriateReefer yes it was I had them for 10 years and he was huge I kind of needed the money at the time the guy at the pet store lost his mind when he seen the claim he didn't have the money but he pulled it out of the register lol 😆 😂

I'm thinking it may have been the low pH my tank was having (was 7.8 - 8, now it sits around 8.25 - 8.45) since I did dose phyto almost every day while I was trying to keep those small clams. I'm sure there are other factors at played too, though my guess is that the low pH and lack of stability really did a number on the small Maximas. 😢 Hope these hardier Derasas (and maybe future Squamosas) will live long and prosper!

@@InappropriateReefer 👍 also what is that zoa that’s brown with a green edge 1:11 the ones on the left on the front

I was thinking the same 0_o

Yeah it's growing back into the rock... trying to get away from the light? Trying to catch certain flow?

Good idea, I can test this

Generally the larger the surface area the stronger the magnet is . With magnet price being so expensive and constantly rising we try to offer a top notch product at an affordable price which is why we use our rating and size magnets and rate them officially to half inch glass . While you can sandwich more magnets on the outside of the glass it doesn’t necessarily double the pull strength but it can help !!

I am tempted to just pull some Zoa frags off and ditch the rock. Besides Vermetid Snails, the rock also has a decent number of tiny Xenia...

Good question - sorry I am not sure, best to reach out to them directly, they are very responsive on social!

That one has no name, just a random teal / purple mushroom I found at a LFS 😉 We've been jokingly calling it the "Oscar (Dumpster) Bounce"

Sadly passed away a few years back after keeping him for a year or so; Frogfish seems to mysteriously die around the one year mark (bad diet? fatty liver), Mochi unfortunately followed the same fate, thought he'd fare better since his diet was mainly damsels and gut loaded ghost shrimps, not freshwater fish.

Space Monsters perhaps? Or Eagle Eye?

Rehomed to Lynn's awhile back after discovering that he picked at Euphyllias in my tank

A few drops each day by hand, I got some in an amber dropped bottle.

Never had issue with wrasse picking at clams in my tanks up to this point 👍

@@InappropriateReefer Thats good. I had a clam in a previous tank and the wrasses picked at to the point it stayed receded in its shell and eventually dies. Now I also had a Blue Jaw Trigger in that tank. I never caught the trigger but I suspect he nipped at the clamm as well. My 6-line was the main culprit.

This is a 135g Mode Aquariums tank

Yep at a local fish store

@@InappropriateReefer oh cool I’m a Charter boat captain here in Florida and we catch those all the time.

The smaller Maximas died a few weeks in, I suspect it's the tank's constant low pH (tank was around 7.8 - 8 at that time; now a days it's around 8.25 - 8.45); the larger one I gave away pretty quickly after seeing how the smaller ones did not do well. The remaining Derasa is growing well, probably because they come from more unstable water so a bit more tolerant to swings.
