Will do!

Today’s results. Not bad, but could use a little more fine tuning. CaRx will increase to 14hrs and kalk slightly increased by 120mL. I’m sure those clams are sucking up some alk. I’ll post some pics after I get some cleaning done.

Thanks for adopting my favorite critters, i'm really hoping the ones that suffered a bit the last couple months will bounce back for you. Good to see that the big derasa still has some of the greenish shades in it under your lights, i was always curious if that was a trick of being close to a green LED on mine but nice to see it in another tank.
Thank you! I will do my best to give them the best home I can. Yeah, the large derasa has some really nice colors and the greens are quite noticeable.

You must be a Clam Maniac, one of Clam Mania's customers lol (Hulk Hogan has the Hulkamania, the Ultimate Warriors have the Warriors, and Clam Mania has Clam Maniacs) lol

Well, poking around the tank at night is fun, it’s always cool to see what little critters come. Looking at one of the pieces of Fiji rock, I spot this little urchin. I haven’t looked up an ID yet, maybe too early to tell, but I now know it’s in there and will look to see what happens next? To me, this is the fun part of reefing, figuring out what’s lurking at night.
Today’s parameters. Not bad, NO3 a little high for my taste, but I’m not worried. Unfortunately, the hippopus didn’t make it. I was so hopeful when it started to puff up, but the other morning it started gaping and then the tissue below the inhalant siphon separated, which is a death sentence. Clams are like fish (and corals, and pretty much everything else we keep in our tanks) to me, so it’s hard losing them.
Free monti! Yes, that’s right, whoever wants this, come pick it up ASAP, just bring a bucket or large bag. If you’re going to Dave’s @o2manyfish get together tomorrow, I can bring it there. It’s roughly 6x8
good karma sir
Yes, thanks for having me. Gotta post pics of what you picked up today. That gigas was sweet! But I think @dansyr really wanted to take home all of the trapezia’s he saw and I don’t blame him.
Indeed the trapezias made me feel a way for sure. Next time I get salty, for sure.
Once you get situated in Hawaii, we expect a tide pool with clams. Make it happen!
Your dog is awesome! What kind is he?
Congratulations on all those clams from dansyr! I suck at keeping clams in general (don't ask me how many I've killed over the years lol), but I WILL say the hippopus (sp?) is one of the easier ones for me. Mine's going on 3 months <---that's a HUGE accomplishment for me! haha
and @dansyr (not to derail the thread), but I'm so sorry to see you go. Your 20L was one of my favorites on here

Italian mastiff aka cane corso. He’s a good boy, but still needs a lot of training. I love clams, they’re one of my favorite reef animals. Hippopus are funky weird clams, but they’re super cool. Just give them a ton of full spectrum light and have some available nutrients and you should be fine.

GOD is good all the time.
I missed it !!!??good karma sir
Looking awesome man. The pup has grown! Such a cool breed
