Your tank looks awesome, I love the rock scape and your clowns are phenomenal. Great job.

Thanks! It's a maxima clam, picked him for only $30 and it looks to be just about 4 or so inches long.

Great looking tank, I dont know much about salt water tanks but I do sell cameras and your camera must be top grade stuff. I think my fresh water tank could give you run for your money! Nice tank keep up the good work my friend...hope your slug makes it!

that snail in the container is a stomatella, a harmless herbivore. a good addition.

 

[Just.A.Bit.Salty]

Thanks everyone and thanks mr X I threw him in the tank

They will reproduce pretty readily as well, I have plenty in my 14G!

 

[XxVooDooxX]

Ohh man I was just looking at one of those clams!! Do they need an established tank or is good light and supplements ok for them?

IMO established for what the filter feed on, I wouldn't feed one if I had one

 

[Fishfan321]

Great tank I love the hammer but get a black background!! It would look even better because of how you set it up. It would also hide things... Btw what equipment do you have??

Agreed I don't plan on feeding mine....and Adam don't worry lol I'm going to put a background on it asap. the only thing on that tank is two AC hob 70s, and a power compact 4x65watt... I know pretty complex right, I have found that steady frequent water changes can pretty much do the job for any other equipment you may run, depending on your tank size of course.

 

[Fishfan321]

Wow it looks great for that little equipment. I thought you were gonna have a list that was a mile long.. Prices add up for salt though and a sump is sooo easy to make.

from, Adam

 

[Just.A.Bit.Salty]

lol Yea and of course I also have powerheads on the tank I left that out. I agree on the sump I will be building a sump for the tank so I can have more water volume they do seem pretty easy to make but that's about a month away..Thanks

 

[Fishfan321]

Whenever you do it make sure you have a lot of info. I could help you if you want. You could have a refugium, dsb, it's really what fits you.

Thanks fishfan I'll let you know.

Quick question for you guys. I have a lot A LOT of these little critters running around my sand bed and rock. The are extremely small and the closet thing I could compare them to is the fresh water ghost shrimp, they look like mini versions of them very clear and shrimp like lol. Anyone heard of these? They to small for the camera to focus on them so I could not get a pic.

 

[mr_X]

these are amphipods-

 

[mr_X]

these are copepods

 

[mr_X]
