+1 on that one, I Guess.
I mean you did track down a tank for me. boxed it up and had it delivered to Edmonton. Looks like you jumped to the top of that list . :wink:

Nano 02-18-2012 03:03 PM

Awesome I'm experiencing my first poweroutage with the salt tanks. 1 hour with out power I'm getting nervous. Everything seems fine so far

Aquattro 02-18-2012 03:25 PM

I didn't have a power outage and my return pump was off this morning. Judging by the water level in the sump, it's been off for a while. Stoopid pump...

reefwars 02-18-2012 03:27 PM

Grammar: the difference between knowing your sh*it, and knowing you're sh*t

Nano 02-18-2012 03:34 PM

Nice powers back but my copadichromis looks hurtin (one of my favorite cichlids):sad:

The Grizz 02-18-2012 05:29 PM

I hate when the power goes out, we have power drops often but don't last long most times but still makes me nervous.

Is my clam ok
 
Like the title says, my clam seams to be doing very well but has fanned way out like two three inches past the edge of it shell and was wondering if that was normal.
Color seams good as well
Just a newbie so everytime something out of the norm happens I freak out
Ha ha
If anyone could ease my concern that would be great

Sounds like a damn happy clam to me.

AaronH 02-20-2012 12:23 AM

Oh good
Thanks a lot. Was worried about the clam not making it in my tank yet has only been going for about 6 months and was told to wait at least a year before I tried to put clams in

The Grizz 02-20-2012 12:29 AM

5 hr and counting trying to remove all the brown furry crap in my tank.
