lewisriverfisherman Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 well let me see, you can buy a really good skimmer for around $300.00 thats not that pretty to look at or you can buy a giant clam for around the same price that does a El natural job with out electricity. plus it wonderful to look at!!!

moto826 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 that's a sweet clam and a sweet set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks Moto! Some updates: today we upgraded the reflector to a 22 inches one, and the amount of light is amazing. Ca test said about 500, so we are still good. Ready to dose. I'm feeding the tanks right now and I forgot to put the plexy protection on top of the clam tank. That thing burped water about 2 ft on the air... I wanted to take a video of it but the stupid ipod is out of battery. Next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
