Thanks everyone. Few responses to questions. Lights are 350 VHO and 250 MH. I stole the clam for $50 when it was about 7 inches. In two years, this squamosa has grown to ~12" shell and ~16-18" extended. I had another one but ran out of room and sold it. I just bought a gold rimmed 4 inch squamosa to start the process over. I wish I had a decent camera. The green monti on the left is way day glow and I also have some purple and purple polyp monti that my camera will not pick up. this tank is a calcium hog. I just switched over to Mrs Wadges pickle lime and all seems ok so far.
Thxs,
Mc
