Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

So, here are the most recent pics of the new adds. I finally got a partial shot of the Royal Gramma. He is still a bit shy still and won't pose for a pic yet.




I picked up a clam today, I just couldn't take the pressure anymore. It is really pretty. The pics don't even do it justice. I am still struggling with the idea of placing it higher toward the light. I fear the T-5s won't pulse down far enough for the clam to grow. I don't want his color to brown out. He has not opened up fully like he did at the LFS. I am worried, of course, after all it has only been two hours! Let me know about what has given you guys success with your clams.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

Your one for the dramatic,huh Doc?

I think the clam will be find on the sand bed.Its beautiful and a nice size one to boot!Remember if you do put on the rock work,once attached they nearly impossible to remove them from that rock.The maze brain and full tank shot is amazing.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

silly, it is just silver-tipped Xenia. It looks good though. There are two stalks. I hope the spread all over the place.
