grassi Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have an extra XM 20K 175w and 3/4 in bulkheads if you still need them. Thanks Shane! We found the bh. I know that Reefit has a bulb, but I don't remember what it is. We will keep in mind your offer in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 I was wondering what we should do about the substrate... I never had a tridacna giga. I always seen them on some sort of sand or rubble. In case it would be a good idea to have some sort of container for an inch or 2 of rubble. So when it is time to go home it is gonna be easy to move that thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicarious Cynic Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Looking good. Thinking of peeling the blue backing off my tank, and giving it a coat of black. What paint did you use? I've got some black latex semi gloss sitting around that I'm thinking will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have lots of rubble. Also a PVC stand might work for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most use something like Krylon Fusion or similar spray paint and it works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Went to alex's house with the light and helped hook up a section of hard to reach plumbing. Those long skinny arms come in handy sometimes. Water test was succesful! yay. Then we started to visualize how we would get a very large clam down into a basement and into a tank thats top sits about 5feet up. Things are coming together, Thanks to Alex putting this together, always going the extra mile for the cause of a saltwater animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
