Looks great! Amazing pieces .Do you think the clams add a substantial impact to the health of your tank?

Thanks! Possibly but I think my skimmer does most the work.

Sweet which one? I haven't noticed a problem with any corals and the seahorse, but it doesn't hang onto the sps corals very often and when it does they don't seem to bother him. I have two Tunzes but they alternate and pulse to prevent hard steady flows and they turn down in the evening. I'm currently using a quiet one 4000 until my RD arrives which will be plumbed into the two outputs instead of just the one.
I was going for something different so I'm glad you like it, everyone gets alone fine, if you're a little careful with the species and size selection it's pretty easy to do.

I've been pretty lazy with some of my photos so I'm going to make it up with a few good ones, here's the first of a few to come.

Mind boggling pics as per usual Steve.

Very nice.

Do you edit out background etc in photoshop? These look fantastic. Some of them have that electron microscope look.

Yes, my macros usually come out with very dark backgrounds and I usually change them to be completely black or some kind of gradient, I find the effect is better and the background is less distracting. They were all taken with a 105mm macro lens. Thanks! :mrgreen:
