Very awesome!! I hope the clam does well for you!

 

[DanS180]

Thanks! Here she is fully opened up last night! Picture doesn't do justice as it doesn't show the nice neon blue tips :/!

 

[DanS180]

So I've done some reading on the jawfish but id rather hear personal experiences.

Do these guys make more than one burrow? Will it stay in the same spot at all times?

So far mine is in one spot, but man, does he have a personality! Haha already love him.

 

[Spicemonkey]

I cannot wait to get my pearly jawfish

he's so awesome, pretty "out n about" of his burrow for being in the tank less than 24hrs. I'm hoping he'll come out more often, but he gets startled real easily and goes back into his burrow.

Ahh gotcha, yeah my jawfish is probably 1 1/2" - 2". I could find him this morning so maybe he was burrowing somewhere new lol

 

[Riverhawk]

Yeah he will come out more but the words tread lightly do apply..i even have pics of him..

Lol he looks awesome! I tried sneaking up on mine and he hid behind a rock and poked his head out to see if I was still there haha

Awesome clam Dan!

 

[DanS180]

Awesome clam Dan!

Thanks Sean! I thought it was fully opened yesterday but when coming home today and looking at it, definitely was wrong! Lol

 

[DanS180]

So I just realized I haven't tested the 90 in awhile lol luckily I did a pwc not too long ago. Numbers seem to be pretty steady tho.
Ph 8.1
Salinity 1.024
Ammo 0ppm
Trite 0ppm
TrAte 5ppm
Mag 1380ppm
Calc 420ppm
kH 9°
Phos 0ppm

Obviously the more coral I add the more my numbers will deplete(mag/calc/kh) but my question is, when adding a lot of coral, how quickly do the numbers deplete?

I understand there's a difference in a SPS dominant tank and a softie tank, but just an idea maybe? What's everyone else's numbers look like?

 

[Sniperhank]

Your depletion will vary Dan. How my tank uses calcium will be different from yours and others. This will vary due to alk and phos levels to the specific kind and size of corals you are keeping. This is why we test. Once you get a feel for the tank, you'll just know. Currently, even mine is rejuvenated by the weekly water change, it takes some major sized sps to cause numbers to drop from what I've heard.

Ok yeah that's what I figured because my numbers are usually not too off from what they were the previous time. Just thought id get an idea, that's all thanks!

 

[Sniperhank]

So when will we get updated shots of the tank?

Possibly later on today, on my way into work right now :/ lol

 

[Sniperhank]
