Ya I've been harvesting for a week now and doing 10% water changes everyother day, trying to keep the nitrates down, they are usually around 50 - 60 ppm, would like to see about 20 ppm.
As far as pic go I do not have the slightest clue how to get them attached, any advise would be great. Thks

well hmm lets think what u could do with the clam... I got it call some of ur friends up and have a big clam bake
actually could u eat one of those clams if u really wanted too? or do they have some kind of toxin or worms? n e ways murph i dont mean to hijack ur thread but i posted this on -- what do u think will better for pulling crap out of a 75gallon sps tank, a asm2 or a euro reef Rs80? i will have a fairly heavy stock list consisting of
maited pair of flame angels
5 lyretial anthias
a purple tang
pair of onyx clowns.
thanks man and ur tank is beautiful

Hunted you want your nitrates down as close to zero as possible just keep up on your maintencance and a good protein skimmer will help rid your tank of the nitrates by removing any proteins in the water... to upload a pic i use Photobucket to save them on the add to this site very easy to do since SWF.com only allows a maximum of 500x500 pixels
Brandon... i duno if you could eat it or not?? hmm interesting maybe i can do that lol.... no but reallly i figured id probably keep it until its too big then id get a new tank i really want a big cube tank or at least a tank thats 36" deep as compared to 24".... i think either skimmer will work great i run the ASM G-4 and it works nicely and is relatively cheap.... you could do the mesh mod to the impeller and it even works better....
El Bob my fuzzy sad to say died about 4-5 months ago... not sure what happened he was doin just great and i actually watched it happen he was swimming then went bazirk swimmin in circles and then within a matter of 20 seconds went from fine and healthy to dead
