Hey I appreciate it! I need to get out the good camera cuz the phone pics don't really capture the color though.

Yup real estate here is at a premium. Been planning on thinning it out once my tanks are up & cycled. The green leather is growing too fast lol.

Very nice tank.... I am trying to turn my tank into a Mix Reef tank also....

Just a few-many questions for you....LOL

How long has it been running for?
What kind of lighting are you using?
Are you dosing the tank with anything special?
If so how often?
Are you using dosing pumps if so what kind-brand?
Any special foods feed the tank with?

I love those claims what kind or they?

Thank you! The tanks been running for almost two years. I do not dose anything other than I do use a calcium reactor (Korallin brand) that I use the aragonite media for calcium and magnesium media for magnesium inside it. I feed lots of different brand foods but I also make my own & I include anything store bought with it when I make it. As for the clams I have one Crocea, one Derasa, and four Maxima clams. Thanks for looking & good luck with your reef!

I hate you so much for those amazing clams keith. Did you see the article about the new hybrid clam they bred? I was reading about it before work...just incredible...Squamosa and croeca if I remember correctly. The one shown was a beautiful black and blue spotted mantle. Was also reading about the return of maximas from the red sea, about 300 of them hitting the market.

 

[Keithhjs]

I saw the post you put about the article but I have yet to open it & read it. I'm definitely looking forward to it cuz like you I find clams the cookest

 

[Sniperhank]

Indeed. I'd redo my entire system today if I could get my hands on 5 clams. These hybrid clams sound really neat.

On this tank I have the AI Sol Blues.

Update on the little Maximas. Seems to be the darker blue one is growing faster than the others.

Finally got a video of this Bullseye Pistol Shrimp I've had for almost two years. He is quite a fast, stealthy shrimp & he clicks dozens of times daily. This guy is big too.

That's a big boy, cool that you finally got him on video.
