The Reefer Matt M130. The Culmination of a Journey Continued.

[Reefer Matt]

Is the blue beam still wood? Mine is black and wood. I had to get my stand replaced under warranty because the top bowed because that support let loose at the end that says M130. The stand is no where built as well as the tank imo.

Yes, it’s coated plywood. I had an issue with the hinges, which I may contact them later for. It was a mismatched set and the doors had to be adjusted all the way one way, which makes them bind a little. I will make a full review video on this tank on my YT channel once it is all put together. This build thread will be limited in content.

They must have a different version now. Mine has a refugium chamber at the opposite end from the filter socks.

From what I read, I have the version 1 sump which is shorter with three chambers. The four chamber version is the newest one. This will still suit the equipment going into this build though, as an algae reactor will be used.

Following along! I saw the M130 in person recently at my LFS and was super impressed!

Let’s gooo!
Next step is to patch the wall, then bring the tank in! Then move controller board. Hopefully I won’t have to test and dose this tank as much as the previous one.
