Agree with you!

Great to meet you and thanks for the trade.

All PM's replied to. I have one more nice Palmer's Milli and Peacock for the taking. Lol! From the looks of it kriz2fer, I need an invite to your house so I can raid, I mean see your sps collection . One can't ever have enough colored sticks.... or clams.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow on these as I can do one more Palmer's and maybe 2 more Peacocks... Lights are going off otherwise I would post pics. Thanks guys-

Pics uploaded.

Looks like an A. millepora, 2" frag $50 (1 available) Montipora Digitata "German Blue Polyp", neon purple polyps with white branch tips, 3" frag $15 PENDING fredknack

I have a pair of Nano Streams that I am not using and would be up for a trade for the larger ones. My Nano's were only used for about 6 months, and other than some dried coraline algae they are in excellent shape. LMK-

Looks awesome. Clear plastic (empty) berry containers work quite well too.

You have an awesome tank full of sps! Love it.

Awesome start to an awesome build! You are in good hands with Garrett@Premium. Keep us all updated and pics, pics pics!

That's a steal! I cannot imagine that it will last long....

Looks amazing Kenny! I think you need a biGGer overflow James' work IS the best by a long shot- agreed! The problem is now that when you have a tank that quality of a build, all else will look like crap.

It's some type of acropora (stag) but the pic is fuzzy. Can you get a close up of the tips?

Wow! Those are cool Matt. IDL zoanthids, but these are really something.

Bradnjunkie- Tank is looking sweet!

I totally understand, more than than I can express. Yellow tang is doing fine. If you decide on getting one - get a small one and know that it's just a matter of time before it will out grow your tank.

Thanks Steve. My tank is 34g (20x20x20). It's the older version glass Salano tank. I have a pair of ocellaris clowns, a hector's goby, a purple firefish and a yellow tang. 5 in total. I'll be adding a few small fish in the future.

Ah, the only way to view clams- surely;)

Congrats on the maxima! Can you tell me what's the wattage/length/bulb configuration of your t5's? It looks good and healthy. I haven't heard of cowries eating clams before. My guess is that the clam was on it's way out and the cowrie finished it off. I often hear that shrimp eat clams - not true either, unless the clam is dying. I have skunks, coral banded's and peppermint shrimp in my tank and never have (or have had) issues with shrimp. I often hear this, "clams need to be fed phyto plankton" - not true. Once tridacnid clams reach about 1" in size, they no longer require phyto feedings. Clams do require minor trace nutrients to grow and thrive. Aside from the regular water chemistry parameters necessary for keeping sps corals, your tank should have traces of NO3 and PO4. This can be achieved by feeding your fish regularly, and your fish pooping - yes fish poo is the perfect food source for your clam(s). Make sure you keep a higher SG. I prefer 1.0255-1.026 (refractometer), although clams can/will tolerate lower SG's and can even be freshwater dipped to remove parasites such as PM. Here's some good reading on tridacnid clams. Hope this helps-

Thanks Kim - I will always have room for more sps and clams Thanks Chris - I have been meaning too

double post... every time I post...

These tanks all look amazing! Garret your story is strikingly similar to my own. Unfortunately I did not save any pictures. Here's my little cube:

Kim- I am very close by to Lake Ridge and have some time tomorrow. Please let me know how I may help.
