hey everyone... just wanted to pop in and say hi i havent been on in a long time... super busy with work and life in general... anyways here is my 180 for those of you that remember me
... tank has been doing good i got rid of a ton of polyps and zoo's tank became over ridden by them and i lost some sps due to overgrowth and stinging... in the next few weeks im getting all new LR and going to re do the tank with no polyps maybe a few zoo islands but thats it!!! it took them over 2 years to start going too crazy and burning the sps lol...
anwyays thanks for lookin and i hope everyone i used to talk to on here is doing well!!!

I heard about the Bumble-Buzzy. His name shall be ensconced in the fairy-tales and legends of all fishy-dom and his memory honored for all time.
I loved that little fishy. I was just devastated to hear.

Your tank looks great, despite your hiatus from its intensive care - I guess nature just needs to do her thang every now and then

My tank crashed a while back when the Hubbs and & were out of the country. We're moving in to our first house in a month though - I'm going to set up that flat-hex I've got, and who knows....there might be an in-wall in my future.........

MarkW... its a blue spotted squamosa clam... ive had it about 2.5 years now... it was about 7-8" when i first got it and now its about 16" but a lot bigger than before the mantle has gotten huge
heres a top down on it from a while back now i cant fit it all in my camera frame since its too big and i cant hold my camera up high enuf with the lights being in the way

regina13... thanks! once i get off my lazy a$$ ill make some changes lol i wana get it all sps and a lil better rock layout where i can fit more sps in there
Kevin34... yeah it has grown alot in a year and a half from a small aqua cultured piece about 3" tall with 2 branches to that now and ive fragged it a few times as well...

Coral Keeper i replied on my other thread but most of the demand is met by my calcium reactor but i do dose some reef builder and liquid calcium to keep up on it...
Thanks everyone for welcoming me back
