Ok so I got a sweet squamosa clam yesterday from JonBoy (thanks man!), got it in the tank once we got home last night, seemed to be doing just fine, and today when I got home from work it started shooting its whiteish fluids every couple of minutes or so. Its been doing it now for about 30-40 minutes. I am assuming this is it spawning, likely due to the stress from the move. The water doesn't seem to be cloudy, skimmer is doing its thing, all other corals seem lie their usual happy selves. Question is, should I do anything (more or less flow, turn off the lights, water change, etc) or just let it 'finish' for lack of a better term? I do not have any other clams in the tank, and have it in pretty low flow as is. Salinity is right where I usually run it, and I am going to go check the rest of the parameters right now to make sure everything is on par for where it usually is. I grabbed a video of it...

Did you check at lowes/home depot? I've bought some metal shelving there before

its me, pm sent...

HAHAHA! Nice, very well done.

This is back up for sale. Someone come get it!!!

List updated with whats pending. Im heading down to portland tonight if anyone wants to do some trading!

There is a patch. It's been there from the previous owner and was put on there properly. Holds water great, no leaks whatsoever. I've had water in the tank for quite some time, and wouldn't sell it of I thought it would have any problems, but like I said it is sitting full right now so potential buyers are more than welcome to have a look and inspect it all before they buy.

Tank pending to Mitchell, with Jeramy next in line

I am coming to the meeting, but will be coming down with the family so I won't have room in the car to bring the tank.

Just like the title reads. I have a used 90g acrylic tank, no stand, just sitting in the garage taking up space. I have it filled with water for whoever wants to come have a look at it and take it home. Tank is euro braced, has a corner overflow, bowed front corners, black acrylic back, minimal scratches for a used tank, and I have an acrylic polish kit that will come with the tank if you want it. Great dimensions, I just dont have any plans on setting up another tank any time in the near future. Need to get what I paid for it, which was $150. I am available in Longview whenever ya want to meet up. I wont be able to transport the tank, so ya gotta come get it!

Just sent out some pm's guys...

Thanks for the offer, but I've had some bad experiences with most of that stuff taking over tanks so I'll have to pass on those ones.

Here is what I have, looking to do some trading. I am going to come down to the Vancouver area on Friday most likely, or will be down to Salem the weekend of Garretts meeting (weekend of 22-24th) Open to offers, sorta like everything at the moment. Purple Dragon Soul Favia - 10+ eyes on one piece. Neon Clove Polyps -I have a small rock with quite a few on it. These are the kaleidoscope ones, with the neon orange on them Red People Eater Zoanthids (RPE) - I have a chunk with 20-25+ on it Purple People Eater Zoanthids (PPE) - I have 4 polyps of this one PENDING MOHAYNOW ORA spongodes (1.5-2" frag on plug) Purple cyphastrea (I think) - encrusted all over frag plug. 2 heads of Blastomussa - red/pink outer, light green center, green mouth. PENDING ZACHS green chalice with tiny pink/orange eyes - on large frag plug I can try to get some pictures, but they wouldn't be very good (the LEDs and my camera do not mix very well). shoot me a PM of what you have!

I should be able to make this one!

Ah too bad i didn't see this about 4 hours ago. I've got one that I would let ya borrow and just came into Salem for the weekend. If you ever make it up to the Longview area and still need to borrow one let me know

Im in for two. Shoot me a text and I can get you my card number. Thanks!

Great looking tank. I will definitely keep following the progression here.

Wow! That thing is growing like a weed! I've got to get myself a calcium reactor. Are you dosing anything else besides calcium?

Ok here is a bit of an update...I snapped a couple quick pics here. Sorry they arent the best, they are from my new Iphone and I havent played around much with the camera yet. I have a variety of all corals in the tank now, including SPS that are doing great. Everything seems real happy, and I can see growth on everything, very exciting. Running out of real estate, so now I will probably just be letting things fill in and grow out, and try not to tamper with things as often (placement, etc). I plan on getting some sort of wrasse, and a small tang (to keep the algae picked clean if any comes up). The only other fish I have in the tank right now is a mandarin that is loving all of the space to himself. For flow I have a mp10 on one end, and I have been playing around adding my mp40 to the other end, but it seems to be having some little issues I will need to get worked out before I put it on there long-term.

Matt, your growth is insane! I love it.

OK UPDATE: Still have one brand new Apollo Reef LED Solarblast Ultra unit for sale Also have the lumenmax 3 reflector and some new DE 250w bulbs I will be heading to Salem on Friday if anyone wants to meet up over the weekend

Nice start! What are you thinking about putting in the tank? Purple tang? Stingray?

If you can meet up this weekend in Longview then I will take $75. give me a call if you are interested, my number is 503-931-5760

Yea I've still got it. Let me know when you want to meet up.
