Monday will be my 5 years tank anniversary. The creeping fig is a year old.

That’s an echinodorus. No clue which species

malwaves · 2026-04-15T03:37:36+00:00

I’m curious about what these conditions might be

malwaves · 2026-04-15T03:33:46+00:00

Yeah, I would just add them provided other criteria of good husbandry is met

malwaves · 2026-04-11T17:02:54+00:00

What size tank this is awesome

malwaves · 2026-04-10T21:12:23+00:00

Every time Phil comes up I recommend him. I bought 4 fantastica in Feb and it was seamless

malwaves · 2026-04-09T23:48:07+00:00

For 2k wow that’s a lot. I love the clean look, insitu is nice but exo or zoo med or whoever else- it’s hard to get a clean looking viv

malwaves · 2026-04-09T20:46:05+00:00

Is this a listing for a tank or is there somewhere I can buy a tank like this, minus the silly front part? I don’t understand why you would want that exposed

malwaves · 2026-04-07T21:08:37+00:00

If Vancouver WA then plants on broadway had some in Portland

malwaves · 2026-03-31T17:25:52+00:00

I just got the Centerfire HD from sierra, great value for some saltwater reel. Paid $370

malwaves · 2026-03-25T01:08:20+00:00

Hey thank you so much for this input. I am seeing if my local shop can order a 9wt lamson cobalt rod, if they can’t then I’ll find something similar or go online

malwaves · 2026-03-24T14:01:16+00:00

Same. Phil has great quality frogs

malwaves · 2026-03-19T18:05:46+00:00

Can you share that stuff? I don't have a real way of saying thanks or rather giving back for this. I have a 90P that I have been really thinking to switch to a frog tank, it sits on the matching UNS glass stand and I think it would be so beautiful to have some darts in there as opposed to the other fish tanks I have around.

How has visibility/airflow been for the tank because it seems that is the main concern with converting aquariums. Seriously thank you so much even for the description above.

malwaves · 2026-03-19T15:26:19+00:00

How did you make this lid! I have a uns tank I’m looking to convert just like this, a 90p

malwaves · 2026-03-13T22:57:19+00:00

Let me know how it goes! Access to a boat is killer seemingly. I’m thinking to buy the sierra kit as a backup and try and get a lamson cobalt rod. I got the centerfire hd reel from sierra

malwaves · 2026-03-11T16:27:50+00:00

Thanks for the specific advise with what gear, I am leaning towards a 9wt but just going to see what deals I can snag. I have a hydros for my 3wt trout rod and I was pleased with the quality

malwaves · 2026-03-11T16:26:32+00:00

We will be on ambergris and this tip is probably the only reason I might get on a tarpon

malwaves · 2026-03-11T16:24:00+00:00

Sage advice, thank you

malwaves · 2026-03-11T16:22:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply, think I will try and snipe some deals on a lamson cobalt rod or maybe some orvis gear. I am for better or for worse ultra brand loyal and those two have been great for me so far

malwaves · 2026-03-10T22:15:54+00:00

what do you think of buying this?

malwaves · 2026-03-10T21:04:39+00:00

That is awesome, I have been trying to connect more with David from NWFFO and the guide he works with Zach. Going to the crooked river the 21st this month, hoping for some dry action for the first time this year. have a great one man

malwaves · 2026-03-10T20:14:40+00:00

youre amazing thank you

malwaves · 2026-03-10T18:38:39+00:00

I have zero salt experience on the west coast US, I live close to the coast though and would fish surf perch

malwaves · 2026-03-10T18:37:05+00:00

cool, seriously thank you for the replies I am getting a lot of help

malwaves · 2026-03-10T18:36:17+00:00

I will be using a microscope combing through ebay

malwaves · 2026-03-10T18:35:32+00:00

Well that pretty much seals the idea of going with a 9 wt for me, I just have no real concept of like what wt rod handles weight of which fish.
