ok, Fair enough. My camer has really crapped out! Honestly. Here is what im going to do though.... I will get my buddy to come over and take some pics and I will post them.

I have a shipment That i am I am picking up today. On it are three new clams...:).

In preperation, I just re-did the tank again. This time changing the sup strate as well. They are all much happier.

Sorry I have not resplonded sooner. If I can track down any Giggas I wil Private message you all. I have a supplier who sees them from time to time.

For now you all have to look at the earlier pics. :P


As far as the Crocea on a rock.... nope. Only one of mine has stayed attached as of this date. They all drop off at about 3 inches. Then settle in the substrate. Mind you, My tank is well lit and shallow.

Here are the long awaited pics.....

Scott, some great photos! The clams are looking pretty happy in your new setup. Any news on a new tank?

lol, No new tank yet. It does not look like it's going to happen too soon....LOL Spent our return money (ear marked for tank) on a 50 inch lcd..... I suppose I will have to make do with that for now...:sad:

Wow that is all I can say Wow !!

Thanks for the photos! They look great.

Well,

Good news-bad news. I have set up and completed my large tank build (225). But alas, I have had a major crash in my clam tank. All told, 11 out of 16 clams toast. I have fianlly managed to arrest the losses (i think). So, I am now starting to re-stock my new clam tank (100 gallon bow front) with more critters. In the transfer from the 40 gallon to the 100, I had a heater blow out and cause a major heat surge. Total Freak act, but it was costly.

Now I have a 1/5th hp chiller in route, and have tweeked my heating system. The good news is that the Really big maximia survived, however the 9 inch squamosa did not. But it did provide an entertaining feed for my two zebra eels. (it was all ready dead)

As soon as i can I will have pics of the suvivors and new additions. Merry freakin christmas.

yes I am a little bitter.

Ouch buddy...so sorry to hear.

So where did you fit that 225? I know your place and I'm having trouble with the mental picture.

This is not a freak act. Lots of crappy heaters out there. Would you mind giving up the make of the heater. You should sent the heater company a bill for your clams! See if there is customer service left in this world. Hope it gets better for ya
