Hmmm still wondering am I done.
And Viper if you read this please ID my clams. And how long did you look for your purple squamosa?

I can take a guess at it.
#1 Maxima - #2, 3, and 4 appear to be Maximas based on the coloration, but I can’t really see the sides to look at the scutes. #3 MIGHT be a Crocea; #5 Crocea #6 appears to be a Squamosa, but the scutes are hidden again.
Either way, all of them look extremely well. The question of weather you are done or not is kind of your own opinion. You appear to have all of the “mechanical” in order and a MASSIVE bloom of coralline alga showing your parameters are kept up rather well.

Thanks. I am just in a rut right now. Not sure If I should start project three or keep on two until I think it is truely done.
Good one on the clams. I am just not sure how common some of the colors are.

Oh the clams that I am wondering on common are the kiwi looking one and the tiger tail looking one. I know the rest of them are common.

Your tank is beautiful.... beautiful....

How long did it take you to the point where you feel you may be "done"?

 

[rbrockm1]

this tank is pimp. Whats project 1 look like? oh, what type of lion fish is that? i would like to have one.

 

[stdreb27]

I'd be tempted to put a bunch of pink anthas in there! (although it depends they might get eaten.) But I'd still be tempted.

Awesome clams

Very nice tank, thanks for sharing!

 

[candycane]

EVERYTHING, LOL, color wise is common for clams. I have an emerald green squamosa with shiney turqouise spots. I also had a squamosa/crocea hybrid. I have seen some pretty weird colored clams before. Those are all sort of basic. Just some may be from deeper down and will, most likely, change color at some point. Clams try to cut off eachothers mantles and incurrent syphons as well. This causes darker or lighter coloration too. Watch out for that junk. There are like 7 clams in that tank, make sure that they don't start fighting for right over a certain flow area.
The only thing I might do is add some SPS frags to grow them out. With that amount of technology on the tank, they should grow out pretty quickly.

I thinks just over a year. I would have to go over my past threads to get a acutal date for ya.

Project one is a 115 gallon reef. Pretty basic setup. I have some pics on here somewhere.

I have thought that a few times but I just haven't been able to see the anthas group up in many photos. But if I stumble across the right ones that would be a great addition. I would not worry to much about them being eaten as there is a fire fish and a few gobies in there and nothing bothers them. Thanks for the idea

Thanks for the advice. I didn't know clams would fight.
A couple of these colonys started from 2 inch frags. Im always looking for the right sps frags.

Thanks for restarting this one. I forgot about this thread for a while.
The tanks is pretty much the same. I am looking for some anthias and some more acans. Plus I am working on a horn coral that the lfs got in so stay tuned.
